Abstract: Diaspora can occur spontaneously or as a result of other events. A catastrophe, expulsion, or forced relocation away from war and persecution are all possible. Additionally, dispersal can be triggered by both coercion and choice. Diasporas can arise in response to both cumulative and ad hoc crises. Numerous people travel to host countries in order to earn money, study, or work, get married or other reasons, frequently in the midst of a great deal of conflict.
