[Press] New TRAFIG publication \ Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia

• Eritrea has been in the top ten list of source countries for cross-border displacements throughout the last decade.

Based on empirical research in refugee camps, settlements and cities there, the authors come to the finding that the capability to break free from protracted displacement is primarily determined by each refugee’s networks and connectivity.
