Human rights organizations warn that thousands of individuals returning to their home countries risk severe dangers, including violent attacks, targeted persecution, and being forcibly recruited against their will. The potential threats highlight a growing crisis for displaced populations, raising urgent concerns over safety and legal protections. Authorities and aid groups are reportedly scrambling to address the situation before further harm occurs. Details on how governments plan to intervene—and whether they will succeed—remain unclear.
Human rights groups say some 5,000 returnees could face violence, persecution and forced conscription.
