During the 11 years of conflict an estimated 100,000 – 200,000 Nepalese were displaced due to protection and other related concerns. A majority of this group preferred to remain anonymous and blend with host communities for fear of persecution, either by the CPN-Maoist or government security forces. Only around 8,000 families registered themselves as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) with District Administration Offices, with the government acknowledging that the actual number was likely to be much higher. IDPs in Nepal can be broadly categorized into the following three groups: 1)Land-owning families,
2)Politically affiliated persons, and
3)Persons subjected to general insecurity, threats and human rights violations.
With the May 2006 ceasefire agreement, a large number of IDPs have returned, both spontaneously and through the facilitation by human rights organizations and I/NGOs.The IDP protection working group (comprising UN agencies,the Red Cross movement and I/NGOs) now estimate the current remaining caseload of IDPs to be 50,000 – 70,000 people. The situation of IDPs and those that have returned is far from consistent across the country.
