Displaced Citizens Return to Diyala
Over 1,000 displaced Diyala citizens have returned to their homes after being forced out by sectarian conflicts and intimidation.
According to current Coalition force reports, over 1,000 families have returned to their homes in Diyala Province since July 2008. These figures include over 180 families who returned to their homes in the Al Abarra District, over 100 families in the Qualis area, over 40 families in the Ameriyah area, approximately 50 families in the Abu Tamur area, over 300 families in West Baqubah and nearly 300 families in Bezul.
“The return of displaced persons is a visible sign of progress in Diyala Province and clearly indicates improvements in the security situation and increased confidence in the provincial government are giving people the welcomed chance to return to their homes,†said Maj. Jon Pendell, spokesperson for the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment.
