A Displaced Persons camp is in principle any temporary facility for Displaced Persons. In recent times Displaced Persons Camps have existed in many parts of the world for many kinds of people, including for people in the Darfur region of the Sudan, for Palestinians in Lebanon and Jordan, and for Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Immediately after World War II many such camps, commonly called DP Camps existed for many years in West Germany and Austria, as well as Great Britain, primarily for refugees from Eastern Europe, the vast majority being Jews.
Combat operations, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and general fear resulted in millions of people being uprooted from their original homes in the course of World War II, becoming displaced. Estimates for the number of displaced persons varies from 11 million to as many as 20 million. The majority were inmates of Nazi concentration camps, Labor camps and prisoner-of-war camps that were freed by the Allied armies.[1] In portions of Eastern Europe, both civilians and military personnel fled their home countries in fear of advancing Soviet armies, who were preceded by widespread reports of mass rape, pillaging, looting, and murder.[2]
As the war ended, these people found themselves in unfamiliar places facing an uncertain future. Allied military and civilian authorities faced considerable challenges in resolving the problem of displaced persons. Since the reasons for individuals' displacement varied considerably, the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force classified them into a number of categories: evacuees, war or political refugees, political prisoners, forced or voluntary workers, Todt workers, former forces under German command, deportees, intruded persons, extruded persons, civilian internees, ex-prisoners of war, and stateless persons.
In addition, the origins of these people varied considerably. They came from every country that had been invaded and/or occupied by German forces. Although the situation of many of the DPs could be resolved by simply moving them to their original homes, good solutions were elusive for a large minority.

If the paper is about Uganda, there is some very interesting news out of that country. They are preparing to pass legislation to make it a hanging offence to be a homosexual. Further, this action has ties back to American politicians and preachers! Read my articles on the topic. Hope this helps you.
