But for 40,000 Tamil refugees who have been displaced by both civil war and a tsunami, the question is when — and how — they be allowed back to her home.
Nahalingam Vijerami, 30, says she has lost count of how many times she's been forced to flee her home. Most of her life has been spent under canvas in squalid and overcrowded camps. Now she's a "displaced person" once again, having been driven out of a Tamil village on Sri Lanka's east coast.
