The country has walked five years down the lane after the end of the war. Muslims in the Eastern Province still complain that resettlement and land issues prevail in the area even though the government claims to have completed the process of resettlement in most of the areas. The grave concern of the East where state is alleged to acquire lands belonging to the Muslim people in the area is not a new phenomenon. According to the people in the East, it has been happening for quite sometime even though they expected to resettle in their lands and start their life after the war thus denying their legitimate rights to their lands and disregarding livelihood needs of the people.
