5.0Introduction
This chapter forms the concluding part of the study, and sums up the key findings, conclusions and recommendations. Three major sections are under this chapter. Section one cover ssummary of all key findings discussed in chapter four. Section two deals with conclusions made from the study. The third section covers the recommendations made by the researcher to UNHCR, governments of host and origin countries, international community, as well as other agencies and NGOs directly and indirectly involved in refugee repatriation. The section three also includes researcher’s suggestion for future studies in the area of refugee repatriation, especially in developing

Repatriation and reintegration of these category of refugees is therefore difficult to handle. These category of returnees sometimes have weaker asset profiles and therefore need higher level of assistance. The study therefore recommends that government of home countries together with national and international agencies, UNHCR, and NGOs should give special attention towards these category of returnees. Support mechanisms should be given to them to empower them lead a self-sufficient life. Assistance to be given to these categories of returnees should be in the form of arranging special job training programs that will give them the skills that will help them to develop their own livelihoods in accordance with demographic uniqueness.This will help such category of people to provide for themselves as well as contribute to reconstruction of the country of …show more content…
As a result some vital issues were put aside. The following recommendations are therefore for future studies or researches: Firstly, the researcher recommends future studies to investigate the process of reintegration and resettlement of Liberian refugees repatriated from Ghana. Future researcher in this area should employ the longitudinal approach to study how the returnees have adapted to their home country. Such studies should also focus vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and find out what type of interventions will be appropriate for them in their effort to adjust to home conditions. Secondly, since not all the Liberian refugees in Ghana were repatriated, there is the need for future researcher to focus on local integration as well as Buduburam settlement and the refugee camp. With the cessation of support from the UNHCR as well as other donor agencies and government of Ghana, there is the need for research into how they are surviving in Ghana, as well as the future of non-registered residual
The Universal Refugee Some people believe that Universal Refugees are different people that deal with different hassles. However, that is not true. The Universal Refugees understand each other and deal with the same struggles such as immigration, hardship and assimilation. When entering a new country, refugees most likely will deal with hardship from just entering the country to actually living in it.
It is made evident that immigration would indeed best be addressed at its source, by making conditions better in a potential migrants’ homeland in order to stop their motivations to leave entirely. Organizations such as Heifer International and the Grameen Foundation work to help improve the quality of life within foreign countries by supplying direct aid to people in need. For example, Heifer International provides educational training to the impoverished in other nations to show them how to make better lives for themselves and handle their finances wisely. A key feature all these organization share is their focus on improving the quality of life for others within their own countries and showing them that migration is not the only option and that they can flourish within their own
What would you do if you were separated from your home and your family to become a refugee during a war? Do you think you would survive? In Linda Sue Park’s A Long Walk to Water, The Sudanese Civil War breaks out in Salva’s village and he must run away from his home and family in an effort to survive. In order to overcome the many difficulties he is faced with, Salva uses three main survival factors; hope, persistence, and his uncle’s support.
Clarkston became home for many of refugees all over the world. Clarkston being stuck in its southern ways, many residents raised in Clarkston felt that the refugees changed its community, and some others accommodated to the new sudden change. Noticing the separation, many refugee families stayed to their selves to avoid any confrontations. Coming from war countries which made them flee from their homes, also having to live with these traumatic experiences left many refugees to be self- conscious. Finding it hard to adjust to their new lives in Clarkston Luma helped many families because they couldn’t turn too many residents in Clarkston for help because of their inability to speak English or just because of their ethics.
Due to several inabilities to cope with society, migrant families, with unfamiliarity of the land and language are strayed from opportunities and busied with their family needs. A country freedom for what its known, denies decent employment to incoming
Africa In World Politics: Engaging a Changing Global Order by John Harbenson and Donald Rothchild gives an analysis of how Africa has changed from being a European ruled colonial nation to a nation that it creating a name for itself in the global sphere. Beginning with Africa’s politics during the colonial era through the present. The book provides not only details about Africa but also how the changing world has affected African politics. The main focus of this book is to show the growth Africa has had since its time of colonization. Africa has grown as the world has changed although it has had to deal with internal conflicts and demands for political change due to its authoritarian regimes.
After the end of British colonization in Sudan, both North and South Sudan were hastily put together. Beginning in the 1980s, Sudan entered a brutal war that ripped apart their homeland and displaced many of its citizens. Some of them are the group known as the “Lost Boys”. Traveling for a span of over five years, they trekked thousands of miles in search of safety. First traveling to Ethiopia, but after their government topples, they flee to Kenya.
Refugees are physically separated from their family and friends when they relocate to a host country. This lack of familial support among those in an ethnic community directly affects refugees’ emotional and physical health in a negative manner (Simich, Beiser,& Mawani, 2003). Poor or nonexistent support systems do not give refugees the outlet to cope with the involuntary changes that are forced upon their lives as a resettled refugee. An incapability to deal with such stressors is the specific cause as to why significant amounts of psychological distress are seen among Afghan refugees in America.
The estimated number of refugees leaving their own country since World War II is one hundred million ("Refugee”). A refugee is a person who has left their country because of fear of their safety due to violence, race, religion, or war. Supporting and solving today’s refugee crisis is especially controversial because of the current events, financing, and security issues. ("Refugee Facts”). Climate change and natural disasters sometimes cause people to leave their homes or countries.

This comprehensive annotated bibliography discusses about the poor mental health of the refugees and asylum seekers under detention in developed countries. This sits within the “Social Work Practice in Mental Health” and “Social Work with Refugee Survivors of Torture and Trauma” categories of Social Work fields of practice (Alston and McKinnon, 2005) and uses sources from Australian publications on these issues. The sources cited suggest that due to the large number of refugees and asylum seekers, governments of developed countries have implemented policies to deter people from seeking asylum such as immigration detention policies, strict visa restrictions, rigorous border checks and the stopping of voyages of vessels suspected of carrying smuggled asylum seekers (Silove et al. 2000). The refugees and asylum seekers go through tremendous amount of mental suffering and the worst affected are small children and adolescents.
So, how should be the perfect refugee camp? _______ When for the first time in the human history, the population in the cities has overcome the rural populations [1], we still have thousands of people being forced to do the opposite journey: refugees from urban areas forced to leave everything they have, for a variety of reasons: war, climate, politics and resettle somewhere else: urban areas (Kamel Doräi 2010), rural environments and the "luckiest" ones: in refugee camps.
The foundations for protecting refugees and migrants are a humane approach to human suffering and adherence to international humanitarian law. An improved screening and resettlement process would also improve the West's muddled response to today's displacement crisis. Introduction of the Immigration crisis Migrants and refugees flooding into Europe from Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia have presented European leaders and policymakers with their greatest challenge since the debt crisis.

A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their home country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. There are many different types of refugees, these include refugees who are escaping war, social discrimination, racial discrimination, religious persecution, those who are seeking aid after a natural disaster, political unrest, and those who fear for their lives and the lives of their family. These people are given refugee status and are placed in designated refugee camps across the country where they are supposed to be cared for and educated, but this is not happening. Many of the countries only provide shelter for the refugees but do not provide the rest of the basic needs. There are many factors that contribute to a person becoming a refugee these include war, famine, racial prejudice, religion, harassment or torture due to political views, nationality, and natural disaster.
