People who are forced to leave their homes and communities, whether running for their lives or needing to find a better one, face uncertainty and potential persecution.   As a journalist, I witnessed the disturbing evolution of the conflict in the most remote and impoverished areas, where peace never arrived and its inhabitants face with uncertainty, a security situation that has in many cases deteriorated seriously. “Peace?
