One of the most serious threats to peace, security and the sovereignty of nations in the post-Cold War era, is population migration. A particularly volatile form of this threat is the global refugee problem and nowhere is this problem more severe than in Africa. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of refugee experience in the Horn of Africa. It includes an examination of the dynamics of flight from the country of origin, settlement in exile and repatriation to the country of origin. Such an integrative approach sets this book apart from other studies and will serve as a reader for courses on ethno-national conflicts, migration, international politics, security and African politics.
