Six ans après le début du conflit, l’insécurité demeure en RCA, avec des groupes armés présents sur une grande partie du territoire centrafricain et s’affrontant pour le contrôle du territoire et des ressources. Les attaques ou même rumeurs de mouvement des groupes armés continuent également de provoquer de nombreux déplacements de la population civile et limitent la possibilité d’un retour à une vie normale de plus de 1 258 257 individus. Alors qu’une période de calme avait suivi le retour d’un ordre constitutionnel et les élections présidentielles de 2016, de nouveaux affrontements violents ont éclaté sur une partie du territoire depuis mai 2017. La dernière flambée de violence a eu lieu suite à des opérations de police visant le désarmement de groupes armées non-étatiques dans le quartier PK5 du 3e arrondissement de Bangui en Avril 2018. Cet évènement a également eu des répercussions et causé des flambées de violence dans d’autres sous-préfectures du pays. La DTM a identifié une population déplacée totale de 946 164 individus : 557 723 Personnes Déplacées Internes (PDI), 301 603 retournés de RCA (anciens PDI) et 86 838 retournés d’autres pays. 36% des déplacements internes sont dû aux tensions intercommunautaires, contre 58% liés aux conflits armés et 5% à titre préventif. La population déplacée est composée à 48% d’hommes et à 52% de femmes.

IOM Yemen’s weekly Situation Report for the week of 8—14 July 2018 highlights that 22.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, while 2 million people are internally displaced. IOM also conducted Emergency Tracking to monitor displacement from Al Hudaydah. As of 18 July 2018, 47,380 households have been displaced as a result of the situation.

On 25 and 26 May, incessant heavy rainfall brought by the southwest monsoon triggered flooding and landslides in 15 of the 25 districts of Sri Lanka. National authorities confirmed 203 deaths and 96 people missing.Aerial surveys and satellite imagery confirmed that Galle, Kalutara, Matara and Rathnapura are the worst-hit districts. Given the widespread devastation, on 26 May, the Government of Sri Lanka made an initial request for international support in search and rescue operations.3,130 IDPs in 799 households were identified in 13 IDP sites in Pasgoda, Niwithigala, Elapatha and Kotapola DS divisions in Matara and Rathnapura districts.

Through mobility tracking, DTM is able to provide a comprehensive baseline and regular updates on the trends and changes in numbers, locations and priority needs of IDPs and returnees in South Sudan. In this second round, the IOM DTM team covered a total of 225 payams in 46 counties across eight states. The data collection activity was expanded from the pilot round to now include parts of Jonglei, Western Equatoria and additional counties in Northern Bahr el Ghazal. Conflict and communal clashes continue to be the main contributing factors for internal displacement in the assessed areas, as well as the causes of initial displacement for returnees. Nearly half (48%) of IDP individuals in assessed areas are 17 years of age or younger, with nearly a quarter (23%) of all IDPs identified as 5 years of age or younger, raising concerns around the effect of displacement on children’s wellbeing and access to services including education. 42 per cent of returnees are reported to have returned in 2017 alone. Between January – April 2018, 153,980 IDPs returned to their habitual residences.

Within the period of 10 – 17 July 2018, a total of 8,302 movements were recorded, including 7,035 arrivals and 1,267 departures at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Chibok, Damboa, Demsa, Dikwa, Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Gubio, Guzamala, Gwoza, Hawul, Hong, Jere, Konduga, Madagali, Mafa, Magumeri, Maiduguri, Maiha, Michika, Mobbar, Monguno, Mubi-North, Mubi-South, Ngala, Nganzai, Numan, Yola-North And Yola-South Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Adamawa and Borno States. Assessments identified the following main triggers of movements: fear of attacks/communal clash (42%), poor living conditions (24%), voluntary relocation (18%), improved security (9%), ongoing conflict (3%), military operations (3%) and farming activities (1%).

DTM identified 3,904,350 returnees across Iraq in June 2018, which is a 2% increase in the number of returnees compared to the previous month. Returns have been sustained since July 2016, when the campaign against ISIL intensified, with the periods October — November 2016 (aftermath of the offensive to retake the Anbar districts of Ramadi, Heet and Fallujah as well as eastern districts of Ninewa), May–June 2017 (Mosul operations) and September–December 2017 (last advance of the retaking campaign) witnessing the highest numbers of returns.

As of 30 June 2018, the DTM has identified 2,002,986 internally displaced persons (333,831 families) displaced after January 2014, dispersed across 103 districts and 3,348 locations in Iraq. For the same period, DTM has also identified 3,904,350 returnees (650,725 families). Overall, the total number of identified IDPs decreased by approximately 1%. Decreases were recorded in all governorates. The returnee population increased by 2% during this monitoring period, reflecting a continuous trend of increasing return movements.

DTM Rapid Response Assessments are designed to provide up-to-date information on large scale population displacement occurring outside the DTM Mobility Tracking data collection periods. The Rapid Response Assessment tool is deployed at woreda level to collect basic information about displaced populations through key informants, mainly woreda and zonal government officials. The aim of the assessment is to provide the humanitarian community with initial population estimates and displacement site lists to facilitate the coordination and planning of the first response. The information contained in this report was collected by DTM staff and government officials. Renewed inter-communal violence along the border of Gedeo (SNNPR region) and West Guji (Oromia region) has displaced an estimated 147,040 in West Guji. This is in addition to the 822,187 IDP estimated in Gedeo zone.

The majority of the recorded population were displaced during 2017 with 618 sites reportedly opening in 2017 (DTM Rounds 3-8). In terms of overall cause of displacement, conflict was reported as the primary driver (1,204,577 IDPs), followed by displacement due to climate induced factors (536,321 IDPs) and other reason(35,787 IDPs). This trend is consistent over time, with conflict constantly being the primary cause of displacement across the country 

Como apoyo a la emergencia ocasionada por la erupción del Volcán de Fuego, la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) le ofrece al Gobierno de Guatemala la información recopilada con la metodología de la Matriz de Seguimiento de Movilidad Humana (DTM, por sus siglas en inglés). La DTM es una herramienta muy flexible que se implementa a través de soluciones tecnológicas para generar información de manera rápida. Dicha información fue recolectada durante el sábado 30 de junio en cada uno de las 29 ubicaciones que OIM identificó como sitios colectivos no registrado por SOSEP.
