The UNHCR is trying to relocate tens of thousands of internally displaced people at the same time as an estimated 1.6 million Afghan refugees return to Afghanistan. Ethnic Pashtuns and Kuchi nomads from northern Afghanistan are seeking safety in camps in the south. Numbering up to 120,000, theys are fleeing the Tajik- and Uzbek-dominated cities of the north out of fear and prefer to live in the dismal camps like Zhare Dasht which is set in the middle of a desert surrounded by mines about 30 kilometers west of Kandahar.
