Editorial -

The 20. Century was considered a century of migration and was characterized by countless streams of refugees. Causes were war, nationalism, poverty or racism.
Currently, according to the UN Refugee Council worldwide over
50 million people on the run - a number that way
high is like never before. Religious or ethnic groups,
Those who had to leave their homes now live in exile among dissidents. They are scattered across much of the world and live in a diaspora - a term that has long been used not only for the Jews at the time of the Babylonian exile, but for several minorities worldwide.
The theme of "Diaspora and how it organizes itself politically" is dedicated to the new edition of tibetfocus. Read in an article how Tibetans left home in three big waves, and in an interview Telo Tulku Rinpoche talks about the Russian Tibetan community.

The members of a diaspora are not only confronted with issues of cultural identity and assimilation in the new country, but must also organize themselves politically.
This is the main focus of opinion on the organization of the Tibetan population in Switzerland and their aspirations for democracy. The commentary on the Sikyong elections, as well as the critical report on events on the occasion of the Chitü elections round out the main theme in this
Output from.
By the way: On www.tibetfocus.com are your opinions
and comments always welcome!
In the name of the tibetfocus editorial team, I wish you one
exciting reading!
