The Finnish Immigration Service has published reports on the situation in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen.

The information is based on public sources compiled by UN organisations, international and national non-governmental organisations, research institutes and different media, among others. This year, researchers from the Country Information Service also visited Baghdad and Kabul on a fact-finding mission.
