		<description><![CDATA[The United Nations recently announced that internally-displaced persons (IDPs) in Sri Lanka, housed in refugee camps since the time they fled their homes during the final and fatal offensive against the LTTE, can now go back to their homes. The questions are whether they still have homes to go back to and how safe is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reconciliation between Tamils and the Sinhalese-dominated government in Sri Lanka is elusive as ever, even if the government tries to recruit Tamils into government service such as police work. ‘But such measures look paltry against an internment policy that the EU’s report calls a “novel form of unacknowledged detention”.

The numbers are mind-boggling: 200,000 additional internally displaced persons (IDPs) pouring in everyday into refugee camps. Pakistani military forces are deep in [...]]]></description>
