There are currently over 100,000 Nigerian refugees in Niger alone. The numbers in Cameroon and Chad are also growing. In addition to the refugees, Nigeria currently has over four million internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have been forced to leave their communities and homes due to violent conflicts. We have the dubious distinction of being the third worst country in the world ranking of IDP numbers. Worldwide, the number of internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) according to International Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) in 2013 stood at 33.3 million people. Their spatial distribution shows that 63 percent of IDPs are located in only five countries affected by conflict - Syria (6.5 million), Colombia (5.7 million), Nigeria, (3.3 million), the Democratic Republic of Congo (2.7 million) and Sudan (2.4 million). . . source: Premium times 23/12/2014. . .
