The article presents the results of a study on determining the relationship between the parameters of socio-economic development and changes in the labor potential of the border regions of the North Caucasus, in particular the Republic of Dagestan. The study is based on the methodology for assessing the actual state of the labor potential of the Russian regions of the southern Federal University, developed by T. Y. Kryshtaleva.

Social capital is increasingly recognized as important in influencing economic development, establishment of safe neighborhoods and wellfunctioning communities. There is growing evidence that communities with relatively higher stocks of social capital in form of grassroots associations appear to achieve higher levels of growth compared to societies with low stocks of social capital. This study sought to investigate the influence of social Capital on the livelihood outcomes for the internally displaced persons in Kenya. Membership to local level associations was used as a predictor of social capital. The study revealed that majority of the households that were affiliated to local level associations obtained essential services that influenced their livelihoods positively. Overall, the findings reveal that memberships in local associations (social capital) tend to insulate households from risks and other exigencies. The study recommends that government and other stakeholders such as non-governmental organizations should formulate projects and programs that seek to promote wider participation in local level associations particularly by the poor and those whose livelihoods are vulnerable.

Rising Incidence

The decision among human beings to change their places of residence has remained an age-long strategy of survival practiced for a very long time. However, the migratory activities associated with internal population displacement are often propelled by forced migration occasioned by natural or anthropogenic forces or a combination of both. The upsurge of internal population displacement in the Nigerian state is incontrovertible given the maniacal campaign of the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-east region. The dilemma of internally displaced persons and the imperative management have proven a formidable challenge to the Nigerian state. The aim of this paper therefore is to ethically investigate whether the ineffective control of the Boko Haram insurgency by the state is implicated in the rising incidence of internally displaced persons and evident vulnerabilities. The study adopted qualitative research which relied heavily on the documentary method of data collection and, guided by the ‘Marxist theory of the post-colonial state’ as a theoretical underpinning. The findings of this paper showed that the ineffective control of Boko Haram insurgency by the state was implicated in the rising incidence of internal population displacement in the North-east. The paper critically observed that the state and its agencies like the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs), National Commission for Refugees, Migration and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE), Presidential Committee on the North-East Initiative (PCNI), among others have become the main instruments for the advancement of the interests of the dominant class. The study however recommends amongst other things that the state should ethically rethink its narrow strategy against Boko Haram insurgency through the adoption of a broader approach according to the dictates of Nigeria’s Countering Violent Extremism framework.

National Emergency

Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are men, women, and children who are uprooted from their ancestral homes as victims of natural disaster or manmade occurrences for reasons often beyond their control and comprehension. The Boko-Haram insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria has caused over two million Nigerians to be internally displaced. The crisis has created management problems for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) due to paucity of funds. Secondary data and human needs theory were used for the analysis. The incessant use of improvised electronic devices has created a security lacuna in the IDPs camps, which have become targets for terrorists. The concomitant is confidence deficit between the IDPs and NEMA resulting in accusations of neglect and corruption. The chapter concludes that the failure to manage IDPs is tantamount to human rights abuse and security lapse.

The crises from the northeastern part of Nigeria and neighbouring countries especially around the Lake Chad region (Cameroun and Chad) have created a lot of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees in the country. This has led to creation of such camps that are scattered all over the country, that is, in the North East, South, South East and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. A lot of humanitarian crises occur in such camps, the most disturbing of which is a violation of certain fundamental human rights, like right to liberty and right to dignity, exploitation and sexual assault. This has led to the creation of Refugee and IDP camps. This article examined the role that law clinics can play in addressing the legal issues highlighted. The history and development of legal education in Nigeria and how it gave birth to law clinics was traced. Moreover, the causes of creation of refugee and IDP camps were discussed. The article recommends that law clinics, through social justice, access to justice and client interview, can play a tremendous role in addressing the legal problems faced by the inhabitants of the camps, and this will also help achieve one of the learning outcomes of the course which deals with humanitarian law. The article further states that the presence/role of law clinics will not only benefit the students of the law clinic and the inhabitants of the camps but also benefit the Federal Government of Nigeria through data collection and statistics from these camps, and it will be a means for the government to curtail human rights violation in such areas.

Terrorist Groups

Ever since, terrorist groups particularly the Boko Haram, have been exploding bombs in Borno, Maiduguri, Niger, Kaduna and Bayelsa States of Nigeria. Scores of people have become homeless – emotionally and physically displaced as a result of these terrorist acts. As these continue in the country, there is the need to research into how victims of the crises cope and particularly, to know the educational and social-re-orientation needs of the victims. Thus, this study examines the educational and social orientation needs of internally displaced persons in selected North-Central States of Nigeria. The population for the study comprised of all the internally displaced persons in the six (6) states constituting the North-Central geo-political zone of Nigeria. Random sampling technique was used to sample two states which are; Kogi and Kwara states. Subsequently, purposive sampling technique was used to sample a total of 212 internally displaced persons. Collected data were analyzed using percentages and chi-square statistics. Results show that 65.71% of male and 47.66% of female IDPs expressed need for reinstatement in the educational programme, 87.61% male and 43.92% of female IDPs expressed missing their course of study and 83.80% male and 36.44% female IDPs expressed nostalgia for learning in their former school. On the other hand, only1.90% of male, 15.88% of female, 9% of Christians and 10.75% of Muslims IDPs expressed the need to learn the culture of their new environment as their major social orientation needs. In addition to this, 73.33% of male, 85.04% of female, 88% of Christians and 86.02% of Muslim IDPs expressed to regain battered self-esteem as their social orientation needs. Based on the findings, it was concluded that internally Displaced Persons have varied education and social orientation needs that vary on the basis of their gender and religion. Thus, it was recommended that government and other stakeholders should make provisions in policies and infrastructures to meet the educational and social orientation needs of persons displaced across the Northern Nigeria as a result of political and religious crises.
