Don’t Call it Shangri-la: Conflict, Displacement, Under-development and Refugees in Nepal

Nepal, a mountainous nation in South Asia, is host to 108,000 refugees who were expelled from neighboring Bhutan 17 years ago and live in camps in southeastern Nepal. In addition, as many as 250,000 Nepalis are returning to their homes in the midwest region after 10 years of being displaced within the country due to a long-running conflict. These people are referred to as returnees.
