IDPs as Recent Important Index
In the UNHCR data, there are some categories of refugees aside from the traditional "refugees". For example, some people are counted as "Stateless persons" (especially in Myanmar), "Returned refugees" (Indians), etc. In addition, "Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs)" is also an important index, especially after 2000s. Around 2006, the number of IDP exceeded "Refugees under UNHCR's mandate". Since then, IDPs are larger than refugees.

Here is the top countries which had the most IDPs in 2006. Iraq started accept "Kurdish" in 2005, and Kurdistan was established. When UNHCR helps "IDPs", it is not about Ba'ath party faction who were attacked by Bush regime. So, IDPs in Iraq are mostly Kurdish (and pro-British colonist side). Sudan was already on the 4th position. The War in Darfur happened in 2003 - 2020. So, IDPs in Sudan increased since then. Especially in Sudan, refugees are mostly counted as IDPs.


In 2024, Sudan is the top country with more than 10 million IDPs, It is larger than Syria, Colombia, Somalia, Ukraine, etc. But the war in Sudan is not well reported because globalists side does not have a good result.

IDPs in the Wars in Sahara
The remains of Ba'ath party in Africa are especially active in Sudan, Nigeria (Boko Haram), and the past French Sudan (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, etc.). All of them have a significant IDPs since the ISIS era.



And the refugees in the area (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger etc.) moved each other. For example, refugees from Mali moved to Burkina Faso

As another example, refugees from Mali and Nigeria came to Niger. So, the refugees (perhaps, IDPs) are exchanged in such area.

In Mali, the refugees mainly came from Burkina Faso (green), Niger (red) and Mauritania (purple).

This situation is somehow similar to what happened in the Yugoslavian war in 1990s. Bosnia had a large number of IDPs in the beginning of the war, and then, such IDPs often spread to neighbor countries as refugees. They were mostly used as soldiers (many of them were absorbed in the UN peace keeping force).
In fact, UN peacekeeping in Mali hires lots of soldiers from Chad, Burkina Faso, Niger. Chad is the major destination of refugees from Sudan (to escape the violence from RSF). So, this war could be caused by the globalist in the "Yugoslavian" style (to dissolve Socialist Yugoslavia).
