Iraqi Internal Displacement
WaPo –
Sectarian violence has displaced more than 25,000 Iraqis since the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite Muslim shrine, a U.N.-affiliated agency said Tuesday, and shelters and tent cities are springing up across central and southern Iraq to house homeless Sunni and Shiite families.
…The result has been a population exchange as Sunni and Shiite families flee mixed communities for the safety of areas where their own sects predominate.
This type of environment creates a breeding ground for non state actors.
