Civilians who fled the Malakand region in northwest Pakistan after the army launched operations against the Taliban are starting to trickle home. More than two million people from Swat, Buner and Upper Dir -- part of the Malakand region -- have been living in refugee camps for nearly three months, creating the biggest refugee protection crisis since Rwanda in the mid-1990s. Yet despite receiving assurances from the Pakistani government, many of the displaced are reluctant to return home so hastily. Reports of Taliban patrolling the streets combined with the destruction of towns, homes and infrastructure by the continuing fighting has convinced many among the refugee community to remain with family or in the many refugee camps that have been hastily constructed in light of the conflict.
