Internal Displacement a 'Politically Fragile' Issue, Says Deng
Francis Deng, representative of the U.N. Secretary-General on Internally Displaced Persons, calls internal displacement an important but politically fragile issue. "If one is to address the problem of internal displacement, one must get to the roots of poverty, disparities, stratification and discrimination within a country so that you can make all citizens feel the longing for equal footing," he says. "It is not something you can do overnight, but it is something you can acknowledge overnight."
