Displaced families returning home

Thirty per cent of people who were forced to flee their homes have returned - and in August there was no displacement at all, according to a source in the ministry of migrants and displacement. The returnees had taken advantge of the reconciliation plans, the strong security measures and the influence of tribal leaders, said ministry spokesman Mahdi al-Haideri. Haideri anticipates that more families will return to their homes with the beginning of the new academic year.
