As part of a larger feature on migration, IRIN has released a list of the Top 10 Neglected Refugee Crises in the world today. Highlighted displacement situations include:
- Sudanese refugees in Chad
- Eritrean refugees in eastern Sudan
- Sudanese refugees in South Sudan
- IDPs in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
- Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh
- Tamil refugees in India
- Afghan refugees in Iran
- Horn of Africa refugees in Yemen
- Malian IDPs and refugees in neighbouring countries
- IDPs in Colombia
Keep an eye on the Migration Information Source, as it usually compiles a "Top Ten" list of its own at about this time.
Earlier in the month, Human Rights Watch's Refugee Program circulated a letter documenting five particularly serious incidents of non-refoulement this year.
Anniversaries also present an opportunity for reviewing the past and planning for the future. Several recent ones include:
