IN ENGLISH – IDP is an abbreviation, commonly used in the international right : people internally displaced during a conflict. Georgia particularly has known this movement of people, with both conflicts in Abkhazia in 92-93 and Ossetia in 2008, that provoked the flight of thousands of people, Georgians leaving their hometown to avoid bombings. From these two regions, since the 90’s, 265 thousand people had to leave and only a few of these people could come back.

The ones that couldn’t go back home stayed in Georgia with this name : IDP. If International organizations are familiar with IDP, what does it mean for people? Which echo has it in daily life or people’s talk ?
