In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Sudan (GoS) declared a nationwide health emergency and introduced mitigation measures in March 2020 to reduce the transmission of the virus. These measures include restrictions on travel due to closure of airports, points of entry (POE) along land borders and maritime boundaries, as well as domestic movement restrictions.

From April to June 2020, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted 6,549 registrations across three states in Sudan – 3,186 (49%) of which were internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 3,363 (51%) returnees. All registered IDPs were situated in Kadugli, South Kordofan, whilst returnees were in both Zalingei, Central Darfur, as well as nine localities in North Darfur. There were no reports of flood-related displacement over this period. DTM registration of households affected by floods will commence during the rainy season in the third quarter of the year. DTM’s flow monitoring point in Abyei, where South Sudanese are registered upon arrival into Sudan, has been closed since the Government of Sudan declared a nationwide health emergency and a near-total closure of its borders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on 16 March 2020.

A total of 1,456 movements were recorded, comprising 1,226 arrivals and 230 departures, between 10 and 16 August 2020. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Dikwa, Gwoza, Mobbar, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most-affected Nigerian State of Borno. Arrivals were also recorded in Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Guyuk, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha,  Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song and Yola North LGAs of the state of Adamawa. Departures were recorded in Askira/Uba, Dikwa, Kala/Balge and Monguno LGAs of Borno; Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Guyuk, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South and Numan LGAs of Adamawa.   ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: conflict/atack (52.3%), voluntary relocation (19.8%), poor living conditions (17.7%), improved security (5.2%), fear of attack (3.9%) and military operations (1.2%).

The Central Sahel area, and in particular the Liptako Gourma region, which borders Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, is affected by a complex crisis involving growing competition over dwindling resources; climatic variability; demographic pressure; high levels of poverty; disaffection and a lack of livelihood opportunities; communal tensions; the absence of state institutions and basic services; and violence related to organized crime and Non-State Armed Groups. The crisis has led to the death of an estimated 4,000 people in 2019 alone and triggered significant displacement of populations in the three affected countries. As of 20 August 2020, 1,551,160 individuals have been displaced, including 1,383,895 Internally Displaced Persons (89% of the displaced population) and 167,265 Refugees (11% of the displaced population). Sixty-seven per cent of the displaced population (1,032,698 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 16 per cent resided in Mali (256,470 individuals), 13 per cent in Niger (199,012 individuals) and 4 per cent in Mauritania (62,980 individuals).

Le suivi des urgences a pour but de recueillir des informations sur les mouvements importants et soudains de populations. Les informations sont collectées à travers des entretiens avec des informateurs clés ou des observations directes. Ce tableau de bord présente des informations sur des mouvements de personnes survenus entre le 8 et le 16 août 2020 dans trois villages et six sites de la province du Lac.  Les 8, 10, 12, 13 et 16 août 2020, en raison de l’insécurité croissante dans la province du Lac, la crainte d’attaques armées a conduit 1 417 ménages (6 325 individus) à quitter leurs villages situés dans les sous-préfectures de Ngouboua (département de Kaya) et Kangalam (département de Mamdi). Ces personnes se sont réfugiées dans les sous-préfectures de Liwa (département de Fouli), Kangalam (département de Mamdi), Baga Sola et Ngouboua (département de Kaya).  Les 9, 13 et 15 août 2020, suite à des inondations survenues le 3 août 2020 dans les sous-préfectures de Ngouboua (département de Kaya) et Kaiga-Kindjiria (département de Fouli), 840 ménages (4 200 individus) se sont réfugiés dans la sous-préfecture de Liwa (département de Fouli).  Les 10, 11 et 13 août 2020, suite à une attaque armée survenue le 10 août 2020 dans le village de Fodio (sous-préfecture de Ngouboua, département de Kaya), 398 ménages (1 239 individus) ont quitté leurs villages situés dans la même sous-préfecture pour se réfugier dans les sous-préfectures de Ngouboua, Baga Sola (département de Kaya), Liwa (département de Fouli) et Kangalam (département de Mamdi). 

L’objectif de l’outil de suivi des urgences est de rassembler des informations sur les mouvements significatifs et soudains de population. Ce rapport présente des informations sur les mouvements ayant eu lieu entre le  17 et 18 août 2020 dans le département du Mayo-Sava de la région de l’Extrême-Nord.

The crisis in Nigeria’s North Central and North West zones, which involves long-standing tensions between ethnic and linguistic groups; attacks by criminal groups; and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways) led to fresh wave of population displacement.   Latest attacks affected 1,568 individuals, including 183 injuries and 18 fatalities, in Apa LGA of Benue State, Baure, Faksari, Sabuwa LGAs of Katsina State, Quan’pan LGA of Plateau State and Tsafe LGA of Zamfara State between the 10 - 16 August, 2020. While 960 individuals were displaced due to flooding and ice falls in Katsina, Zamfara and Plateau States. The attacks caused people to flee to neighboring localities.   A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and immediate needs.

DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects and reports on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography and needs. In the first seven months of 2020, conflict and natural disasters have resulted in new patterns of displacement, particularly in Marib, Al Hudaydah, Al Dhale'e, and Taizz governorates. From 01 January 2020- 15 Aug 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 19,825  Households or 118,950 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once.  Between the 9th Aug 2020 and 15th of Aug 2020, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 77 Households or 462 individuals displaced at least once, the highest number of displacements were seen in:                                                                               Marib (52 HH) – Rahabah (34 HH), Marib (12 HH), Marib City (6 HH) districts. All displacements in the governorate were originated from Al Bayda. Taizz (15 HH) – Al Ma'afer (5 HH), Salh (3 HH), Mawza (2 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Taiz and Al Hudaydah.                        Al Dhale'e (4 HH) – Qa'atabah (4 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.                       Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts.  Al Bayda (52 HH) – Rada' (20 HH),Radman Al Awad (17 HH), Wald Rabi' (14 HH) districts. Taizz (9 HH) – At Ta'iziyah (4 HH), Salh (2 HH), Sabir Al Mawadim (2 HH) districts. Al Hudaydah (7 HH) – Hays (7 HH) district.
