EDWARD WONG"About 160,000 Iraqis from outside the mountainous Kurdish north have moved there to flee a growing civil war, according to a draft of a report by an international group that tracks refugees and displaced people.
The movement of Iraqis within and outside their homeland has produced the world’s fastest-growing populations of refugees and internally displaced people. The United Nations estimates that two million Iraqis have fled the country, which has a population of 26 million."
This is kind of a disturbing idea, that so many people are fleeing the country. In a way it kind of reminds me of the post-Rwandan genocide exodus. The terrifying question is, what happens in the future when people try to return?
