Forced displacement in Iraq(A Case Study of the displaced to Khanaqin)

Abstract

Despite the large number of research and studies that dealt with the issue of migration (changing the habitual place of residence of the population) (1) by researching and analyzing it and bringing it to the stage of formulating theories for the interpretation of this phenomenon and putting forward proposals to address its various aspects in terms of its causes, types and consequences, leading to methods of treatment.

Despite the multiplicity of specializations that dealt with this issue from the social, economic, political and security aspects, they all confirm that this phenomenon is the result of two forces, one repelling and the other attractive, and between this and that, migration was born, but with its various types, it is not a result of the will of the individual himself to move from a place to another in pursuit of better conditions, including those resulting from a number of political, social and economic changes that afflict some countries of the world from time to time (2), and Iraq is one of those countries in which this phenomenon became evident after the political changes that occurred in Iraqi society in the year (2003). Which is called forced or compulsory migration, which is carried out by force beyond the will of individuals, such as forced displacement (3).
Forced displacement was not a new topic on the Iraqi reality throughout the long history, but it is new in the manner in which the displacement took place first, in addition to the fact that forced displacement, as is known, occurs in implementation of certain policies that practice oppression and persecution, whether from the supreme authority or from other centers of power (4), except What happened in Iraq is that the displacement occurred because of certain individuals or groups that used the displacement process with the aim of destabilizing security and stability for the benefit of unknown parties in light of the political, economic and security vacuum, except for the social factors that had a leading role after the destruction and displacement in stabilizing the situation and returning some of the displaced along with them.
