MSF's mental health program in Ingushetia and Chechnya

Almost everyone you talk to, tells you, with a mixture of conviction and desperation, "I want to go back home". But for many of the roughly 25,000 Chechens who remain in Ingushetia this remains only a theoretical possibility. These years of chronic displacement, loss, lack of hope and the struggle for survival have, of course, taken their toll on the population's mental health. Project Update - 28 Jun 2006

Rwanda

'I try to stay unknown as much as I can' - Portrait of a Rwandan seeking refuge

I don't speak to many people, I'm afraid that too many details about my life will reveal my identity. There's always a possibility that there are infiltrators in the camp who want to track down people they're looking for or want to eliminate. I can't return to Rwanda after all that has happened. If I don't get refugee status, I will try to hide in Burundi, or try to get into another country." Project Update - 22 Jun 2006
