Picking Up the Pieces
This paper examines the role of social capital on livelihood outcomes of households forcibly displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency in Northeast Nigeria. Drawing from in-depth interviews of 21 respondents and a cross-sectional survey of 810 household heads across 12 locations in Northeast Nigeria, the study finds that social capital provides a channel of critical psycho-social support for households. Further, the results of the structural-equatio…
Cuba's involvement in and against the Eritrean liberation struggle
The growing availability of previously declassified material on the Cold War has allowed scholars to revisit old questions with new, more decisive, evidence. In this paper, we draw on this archival material to address the unresolved question of what Cuba's involvement against the Eritrean Liberation struggle consisted of in the late 1970s, and importantly why they engaged in this way, given a historical commitment to the Eritrean Liberation movem…
From Badge of Honour to Unbearable Burden’
In May 2016, global attention was gripped by the sight of hundreds of corpses washed ashore on the northern coast of the Mediterranean. About 450 of these bodies belonged to Eritreans who had undertaken the perilous journey across the Mediterranean from the Libyan coast. They had trusted their fate to boats that were hardly seaworthy in the hope of reaching Europe and finding asylum. This was not the first of such incidents; nor was it to be the …
Sexual Violence in the Eritrean National Service
Claims of sexual violence against female conscripts by military commanders abound in the Eritrean National Service (ENS), but hitherto there has been no attempt to subject these claims to rigorous empirical scrutiny. This article is a partial attempt to fill the gap. Based on data collected through snowball sampling from 190 former conscripts in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, South Africa, Kenya, and Sweden who fled from the ENS, supple…
Forced Migration in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa
This chapter examines the interrelated causes and experiences of forced migration within the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa, two regions with protracted crises of conflict and displacement. It argues that mainstream encampment and hostile host governments’ policies toward self-settlement prevent local integration of displaced populations and that the institution of asylum in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa is under pressure reflected, inter al…
The national service/Warsai-Yikealo Development Campaign and forced migration in post-independence Eritrea
When the Eritrean war of independence (1961–1991) that forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee in search of international protection came to a victorious end in May 1991, the general expectation was that this would decisively eliminate the factors that prompt people to flee in search of international protection. Paradoxically, the achievement of independence has failed to stem the flow. Since 2002, hundreds of thousands of young men and wo…

Land policy in post-independence Eritrea
After a brief review of the traditional land tenure systems in a historical perspective, the article attempts to identify and discuss the main tenets of the post-independence government's land policy and explains the reasons underlying the government's decision to opt for state ownership, in spite of the bleak track record of such a property rights regime, instead of building on the wealth of the historically transmitted, culturally embedded, and…
Forced labour in Eritrea
Using fieldwork data collected in Eritrea, Rome, Milan and Stockholm, and supplemented by human rights organisation reports and discussions with key informants in four cities in the UK, this article examines the extent to which the Eritrean national service and its concomitant Warsai-Yikaalo Development Campaign qualify as forced or compulsory labour as defined by the relevant international conventions
Urban Refugees
Interest in refugees who live in urban settings, especially those of the global south, has developed fairly recently, although refugees themselves have always been part of urban society. This paper seeks to demonstrate that urbanization is an irreversible process in the African context, and that the movement of refugees to urban areas can only make sense in this context. It discusses state policies of segregation, securitization, and criminalizat…
Why Governments Prefer Spatially Segregated Settlement Sites for Urban Refugees
The urbanization of Africa has been recent, rapid and notably disimllar from the pattern of urbanization that occured previously in Europe. Significantly, the urbanization of Africa has occured in the absence of structural transformation. Within this reality, refugees are viewed by African host governments as exacerbating the problems of urbanization and are most often located in government-designated and spatially segregated sites - refugee camp…
Refugees and the transformation of societies
The refusal or reception of refugees has had serious implications for the social policies and social realities of numerous countries in east and west. Exploring experiences, interpretations and practices of 'refugees,' 'the internally displaced' and 'returnees' in or emerging from societies in violent conflict, this volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies and encourages new developments in refugee studies. It also addresses the ethics and politi…

Citizenship Rights and Repatriation of Refugees
This article examines the relationship between access to or lack of access to citizenship rights in countries of asylum and the propensity of refugees to return. It hypothesizes that in situations where refugees enjoy civil, social and economic citizenship rights in the context of favorable structural factors — relatively secure employment, self-employment, social services such as housing, schools, health care and social security – the importance…

Rethinking Household Headship among Eritrean Refugees and Returnees
One of the most common generalizations concerning refugee populations is that they are dominated by female heads of households and children. It is claimed that men are either killed in the wars that prompt displacement or are left behind to fight. This assumption has continued to determine the policies of relief and development agencies, as well as governments in countries of asylum and return. On the basis of empirical data from UNHCR and househ…

Based on a case study of the Central Rainlands of Sudan, the paper challenges the assumptions and principles underlying the tragedy of the commons model and the property rights paradigm with regard to sustainability of resources owned in common. In the particular experience of the Sudan, and this is generally true of many developing countries, state interference in customary tenurial rights rather than communal property rights has been the ultima…

The Consequences of Non-participatory Planning
The article identifies the problems that have prejudicially affected the performance of the project for provision of livestock to Eritrean refugees returning from Sudan. It argues that most of these problems would have been avoided had a participatory planning approach been adopted both in the country of asylum and origin. The planning process would have been greatly facilitated if the Commissioner's Office for Refugees (COR) and UNHCR in Sudan h…
Revisiting the Debate on People, Place, Identity and Displacement
The human need to belong is more than one for protection or for the means of individual development. ..it is normally a strong human need, the satisfaction of which is conducive to individual and social well-being and the denial of which is conducive to suffering... A 'people' is formed by physical propinquity, a native soil and a shared history that has formed common beliefs and values (i.e. its culture or civilization) and conferred on it an id…
Environmental Causes and Impact of Refugee Movements
The relationships between insecurity, environmental change and population displacement are discussed in this paper. It argues that environmental change and concomitant population displacement are the consequences of war and insecurity rather than triggers for it - as postulated in so much of the recent literature. Additionally, the paper critically reviews the state of knowledge concerning the impact of refugees on the environment of host countri…

Eritrean and Ethiopian Urban Refugees in Khartoum
A decade and a half ago Chambers (1979) referred to African rural refugees as “What the Eye Does not See.” This was, inter alia, due to the remoteness of their inhabited areas and the urban bias which then characterized the responses of the international assistance regime. If rural refugees were, in the 1970s, “what the eye did not see,” today refugees in many of the African urban centers are what the eye “refuses to see.” One of the most dramati…

Second, it challenges the stereotypes that had contributed to wrong perceptions among the aid agencies particularly with regard to the alleged prevalence of the so-called ‘dependency syndrome’ among the camp refugees between 1979 and 1989.

Eritrean Women Refugees in Khartoum, Sudan, 1970–1990
This paper discusses the changing roles of women in Eritrean society and assesses the impacts of the refugee experiences on Eritrean women refugees in Khartoum by looking at the adjustments they have made to life in exile. The findings show that they have experienced loss of traditional roles, responsibilities and supportive networks. The majority are former urban dwellers and they were not, therefore, socialized for an independent livelihood. Ho…

Stranded 'Birds of Passage'? Eritean and Ethiopian Refugees in Khartoum
INTRODUCTION The government of Sudan has consistently accepted refugees on a humanitarian basis since the mid 1960s. The refugees in the country are in: (i) reception centres; (ii) organized wageearning and semi-urban settlements; and (iii) urban and rural areas where refugees have self-settled among the local population. The main concern here is the self-settled urban refugees, with more emphasis on those in the capital, Khartoum

V. Repatriation and Development Assistance
The authors argue that refugees should be seen as agents of a process of development to begin during temporary protection and extend well into the process of return and reintegration. The process of development advocated is intended to engage local resources and energies in the refugee, host and stayee communities, in a "bottom-up" fashion. It involves a unified international role in allocating resources, enlivening and promoting development at t…
