[size=45]Despite the passage of five years since the end of the battles against the terrorist organization ISIS, there are still about 1.2 million displaced people distributed in 2500 locations inside the country, more than half of them are from Nineveh Governorate, and while the official authorities deny resorting to coercive means to return, it stressed that Security, political and clan reasons prevent their return.[/size]
[size=45]Undersecretary of the Ministry of Immigration Karim Al-Nouri said in a statement to (Al-Mada), that "some of the displaced did not settle in the camps, but were able to provide them with housing, and they are a large number that exceeds those in the camps." Al-Nouri added that "the number of those in the camps is 37,000 families," stressing that "these people's return to their homes is voluntary and by choosing the displaced, we have not resorted to coercion, and whoever says otherwise is deviating from the truth."[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "If the government had resorted to forced return, no one would remain in the camps," and he finds that "the continued existence of the camps is evidence that the government did not force anyone to return."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Nouri concluded, “The reasons for not returning are many, some of which are related to the logistical aspect, as there are destroyed houses, in addition to the security, political and clan aspects.” For his part, the former member of the Commission for Human Rights, Ali Al-Bayati, stated in a statement to (Al-Mada), that "international reports indicate that there are 1,184,000 displaced people inside Iraq, spread in 18 governorates and distributed over more than 2,500 locations."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bayati continued, "These sites include official and unofficial camps and buildings in which they have been accommodated in violation of the law, or some of them have provided themselves with private housing."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "56 percent of the displaced are from Nineveh Governorate, especially from the city center of Mosul, Sinjar District and Al-Baaj District," noting that "12% of the displaced are from Salah al-Din Governorate, 11% from Anbar, 6% from Kirkuk, and 6% from Diyala." .[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bayati indicated that "the survival of this number of people until today, with the end of the war against the terrorist organization ISIS in 2017, is evidence of the existence of strong reasons preventing them from returning to their homes."[/size]
[size=45]He added, "Displacement is a forced movement that an individual is subjected to, and no one wants to stay and live in harsh conditions unless there are great and strong impediments to return."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bayati indicated that "the main reasons preventing the return are security related to the presence of ISIS terrorist cells in many areas surrounding the cities."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, to other factors, "such as poverty and the difficulty of providing living requirements, in addition to social aspects related to the involvement of some members of these families with the terrorist organization ISIS, and what this generates from fear of revenge and revenge."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bayati spoke about reasons related to “the lack of services in the liberated areas, because a large proportion of these families lack a breadwinner after his death, either during the war against the terrorist organization ISIS or before that.”[/size]
[size=45]He finds, "Demands to end the file of the displaced without addressing these matters are not practical and do not rise to the level of human rights principles." Al-Bayati stressed that "staying in the displacement camp means that these people will be without a decent life and security of rights, especially for children deprived of education and health services."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bayati went on to say that “international and governmental support for displacement camps has begun to diminish, and this means the need for a comprehensive and complete treatment of this file, and if the government decides to keep them away from their homes, appropriate housing complexes must be found for them with basic services.”[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that Iraq witnessed the largest wave of displacement during 2014, when the terrorist organization ISIS took control of a number of provinces.[/size]
