Les conflits agro-pastoraux liés à la transhumance, pratique ancestrale au Cameroun et dans la sous-région, et à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles, qui sont de plus en plus rares, sont devenus une cause d’insécurité majeure aux frontières avec le Tchad et la République centrafricaine. L’outil de suivi des mouvements de transhumance (Transhumance Tracking Tool - TTT) mis en place depuis Août 2020 dans les régions de l’Est, de l’Adamaoua et du Nord, permet de comprendre les dynamiques liées à la transhumance transfrontalière avec le Tchad et la République Centrafricaine. Le TTT combine trois composantes : l’alerte, la cartographie et le comptage. Le système d’alerte a pour objectif de recenser les mouvements inattendus de bétail et conflits ou catastrophes naturelles liés à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles et aux pratiques agro-pastorales dans la région, de comprendre les modes de résolution de conflits existants et d’informer les autorités compétentes, dans l’objectif de réduire les tensions dans les trois régions d’intervention. Ce système permet de recenser les alertes liés à un événement conflictuel ou un désastre (alerte événement) ou à un mouvement massif ou inattendu de bétail (alerte prévention) qui pourrait provoquer un conflit. Ce rapport détaille les données de l’outil d’alerte pendant le mois de mai 2021.

The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with Non-State Armed Groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations. As of 21 May 2021, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 5,245,953 affected individuals made up of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Refugees (both in- and out-of-camp), Returnees (Former IDPs and Returnees from abroad) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). 75 per cent of the affected population (representing 3,947,631 individuals) were located in Nigeria, while 11 per cent resided in Cameroon (558,086 individuals), 9 per cent in Chad (474,091 individuals) and 5 per cent in Niger (266,145 individuals).

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 5,000 people in 2020 (as of 31 August) and triggered significant displacement of populations in the four affected countries. As of 25 June 2021, 1,896,332 individuals have been displaced, including 1,713,275 Internally Displaced Persons (90% of the displaced population) and 183,057 Refugees (10% of the displaced population). Sixty-five per cent of the displaced population (1,240,450 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 20 per cent resided in Mali (386,120 individuals), 11 per cent in Niger (199,385 individuals) and 4 per cent in Mauritania (70,377 individuals).

During the reporting period (22 to 29 June 2021), a total of 154 movements were recorded - 153 arrivals (4,938 individuals), 1 departure (11 individuals). The largest arrivals were recorded in Cidade de Pemba (1,304 individuals), Montepuez (1,061 individuals), Mueda (846 individuals), Nangade (637 individuals), Ibo (446 individuals), Metuge (258 individuals), Balama (131 individuals) and Chiure (117 individuals). Fifty-eight per cent (2,847 individuals) of the total number of movements originated from Palma district. Almost half of individuals (43%) were displaced for the rst time, while 52 per cent had been displaced prior to this latest movement.

Following the recent attacks in Palma Sede, DTM teams in Ancuabe, Namuno, Balama, Chiure, Ibo, Mueda, Montepuez, Nangade, Metuge, Mecufi, and Cidade de Pemba continue to observe movements amongst displaced populations. In the district of Montepuez, a significant rise in IDP arrivals has been recorded on 26 June 2021. An estimated 505 individuals have arrived to the Ntele resettlement site, via the Nairoto road (Mueda-Montepuez), with children constituting a majority (55%) of the movement. In addition, 14 elderly persons were recorded during the assessments.

From 13 to 28 June 2021, around 610 households (3,509 individuals) have returned to their places of origin in the villages of Sourou, Baïpague, Mini and Loussaye located in the sous-préfecture of Mbitoye near the Central African border (Monts de Lam département, Logone Oriental Province). On 30 May 2021, following armed clashes, 1,010 households of 4,900 people fled those villages to take refuge in the town of Mbitoye located in the same sous-prefecture. According to key informants, given the return of calm in the area of origin, other people will continue to go back to their places of residence in the coming days. A Multi-Sectoral Assessment was conducted from 23 to 26 June 2021 by various humanitarian actors, included IOM, to understand the conditions of return of these persons. The report of this assessment is still under preparation.

Du 13 au 28 juin 2021, environ 610 ménages (3 509 individus) sont rentrés dans leurs lieux de résidence dans les villages de Sourou, Baïpague, Mini et Loussaye situés dans la sous-préfecture de Mbitoye près de la frontière centrafricaine (département de Monts de Lam, Province du Logone Oriental). En date du 30 mai 2021, suite à des affrontements armés, 1 010 ménages de 4 900 personnes avaient fui ces villages pour refugier dans la ville de Mbitoye située dans la même sous-préfecture. Selon les informateurs clés, vu le retour au  calme dans la zone de provenance, d’autres personnes vont continuer à retourner dans leurs lieux de résidence dans les jours à venir. Une évaluation multisectorielle a été conduite du 23 au 26 juin 2021 par divers acteurs humanitaires, dont l’OIM, afin d’appréhender les conditions de retour de ces personnes. Le rapport de cette évaluation est en cours d’élaboration.

Le suivi des situations d’urgence (en anglais, Emergency Tracking Tool ETT) est une des composantes de la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM) déployée par l’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM). Il a pour objectif de recueillir des informations relatives aux déplacements et besoins multisectoriels causés par une crise ou des évènements soudains. Il offre une évaluation préliminaire d’une situation et permet de rapidement mettre en oeuvre des mécanismes de réponse. Les informations ont été collectées auprès d’informateurs clés (représentants de déplacés, leaders communautaires) au moyen d’un questionnaire structuré axé sur les déplacements et les besoins humanitaires multisectoriels. Un formulaire d’enregistrement rapide a été également déployé auprès des ménages pour les recenser par sexe et catégorie d’âge et identifier les vulnérabilités présentes. Ce tableau de bord donne un aperçu de l’évaluation rapide réalisée le 25 juin 2021 dans la ville de Ndélé (quartiers de Sarra, Ndoka 2 et Yangoundarsa) suite à une alerte de déplacements causés par des violences liées à la transhumance.
