INDR Newsletter

A frequently asked question by many members as well as non-members of INDR is: How is the International Network on Displacement and Resettlement (INDR) doing? In a recent e-mail to Michael M Cernea, Ted Scudder provided some statistical information on the Network website activities, which sound quite interesting. In short, he indicated that if you google ‘displacement’, you come up third on their search engine. Given the specialized nature of this site, this sure is a good indication of the importance of INDR in the global network. The website is getting 6500 requests per day, mostly from viewers in USA, Great Britain and India. This probably reflects the fact that the site is in English. The hits in rank order are as follows: USA, Great Britain, India, Australia, Canada, Unknown, European Union, China, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, South Africa, New Zealand and Sweden.

Cote d'Ivoire:Protest by Social Scientists
 A large group of West Africa, Europe, and North American academics and social scientists, many of whom are students of population displacement, have signed onto an editorial written and circulated by a group of West African academics and social scientists.  They argue that the former President of Cote d'Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo, is abusively clinging to power after having blatantly tried to falsifiy the recent elections. The point out that international bodies have confirmed that the opposition candidate, Alassane Ouattara, has defeated Gbagbo. Nonetheless, the Gbagbo and his military supporters prevent the access to power of the newly-elected President. The likelihood of renewed violent conflict, civil war, and bloodshed in Cote d'Ivoire is high and increasing, involving obvious risks of renewed massive uprooting and population displacement.
