Internally displaced person

And Dr. Haran, I have to ask you at this point, speaking of the displacement, right, should Kenyan authorities be concerned about a potentially larger influx of people from the Moyale region?

If this conflict persists, definitely quite a number of IDPs or refugees will be coming to Kenya, and a lot of influx of people will be there, for sure.

The fact that these are two communities who have been fighting across the border, and once they come onto this side, they're likely to have retaliatory attacks, and that also causes a crisis on the aspect of security in Kenya.

Therefore, Kenya has to have... a plan on how they will receive and provide humanitarian services for those who have come into their country, number one.

How do we get to be resilient people? How do we understand resilience? What is lost? What's the cost of resilience? So with this first section of the book, when I get into the idea of why you might want to rebuild after war, build in preparation of war, but then also this idea of rebuilding while war is still spooling on.

So for this chapter, Where I look at this idea, I traveled to Ukraine and I spent two and a half weeks traveling around Ukraine in March 2024 and meeting IDPs, so internally displaced people whose houses had been destroyed by the war.

architects and planners who are at the vanguard of understanding how Ukraine's rebuild effort would be delivered, but also students who were studying on the bachelor's architecture course in Lviv at the Kharkiv School of Architecture, which had to resettle from east to west.

And understanding that the students, along with the master's students, they are all helping to shape Ukraine's rebuild effort.

Everything in around the community is completely destroyed.

And then the Christians are left to fend for themselves in what they call IDP camps, which is internally displaced person camps.

So they're refugees within their own country.

So everything they own, the little that they own, has all been completely destroyed.

which is 430 kilometers northeast of the capital, Addis Ababa, killing three pregnant women, an eight-year-old girl, and a student among those who are confirmed dead now, according to the residents.

So, a witness told Ethiopian news outlet Addis Standards, quote, the drone struck the camp five times, at least at intervals of 15 minutes, while IDPs were inside their shelters.

We never expected a drone to attack the camp.

Conflict tracker Frontlines Ethiopia also documented the October 29th graphic attack, while others' local accounts also reported about them.

And you can see that in the Google Earth imagery.

So this is imagery showing from, you know, October 2023, showing a lot of IDPs, displaced people camping around the hospital.

And then if you jump forward to April 2024, you can see these areas here and here, these are in, like, cemeteries.

Essentially, people were being killed.
