An in-depth study on the return intentions of displaced communities in Nigeria’s war-torn Borno State.

The conflict between the Nigerian Armed Forces and Islamic extremists Boko Haram has left over 20,000 people killed over the past nine years. Being a highly volatile and difficult-to-access context, little is known about the intentions of the 1.8 million people internally displaced in Nigeria’s northeast. The report [Not ready to return](https://www.flyktninghjelpen.no/globalassets/pdf/reports/nigeria/not-ready-to-return---report-summary.pdf) is one of the largest studies on the plans for return of displaced people in Borno State - the epicentre of the crisis. It investigates if communities are ready to return home, where they will go and when. This document is a summary of the key findings and recommendations of the report.
