Headlines like 'Three hundred Zambians displaced, over 10 families left homeless and 40 families seeking shelter' are a regular feature in the Zambian media. Countless people have over the years been left out in the cold without a place to call their home -- sometimes due to natural disasters while at other times by authorities that exercise their rights, especially in cases where there have been malpractices in the allocation of land. Such type of people end up relocating to other places in search of a "resting place". And they are commonly referred to as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
