La crise dans le Bassin du lac Tchad est le résultat d’une combinaison complexe d’une multitude de facteurs, y compris un conflit armé impliquant des groups armés non étatiques, des niveaux extrêmes de pauvreté, un sous-développement persistent, et des bouleversements climatiques, qui ont conduit à des déplacements de populations importants.

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 26 April 2021, 1,797,769 individuals have been displaced, including 1,617,134 Internally Displaced Persons (90% of the displaced population) and 180,635 Refugees (10% of the displaced population). Sixty-five per cent of the displaced population (1,169,267 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 20 per cent resided in Mali (361,034 individuals), 11 per cent in Niger (198,613 individuals) and 4 per cent in Mauritania (68,855 individuals).

La région du Sahel central, et plus particulièrement la zone du Liptako Gourma, qui enjambe le Burkina Faso, le Mali et le Niger, est témoin d’une crise complexe qui comprend comme enjeux une compétition grandissante pour le contrôle de ressources; des bouleversements climatiques; une croissance démographique galopante; des niveaux élevés de pauvreté; l’absence d’opportunités économiques et un sentiment de désillusions quant au futur; des tensions communautaires; l’absence de présence étatique et le manque de services sociaux de base; et des violences provoquées par des réseaux de crime organisé et des groups armés non étatiques. La crise a engendré, en 2020, la mort de 5 000 personnes 2020 (au 31 août) et conduit à des déplacements de populations significatifs dans les quatre pays touches par la crise. Au 26 avril 2021, 1 797 769 individus étaient déplacés par la crise, y compris 1 617 134 Personnes déplacées internes (90% de la population affectée) et 180 635 réfugiés (10%). Soixante-cinq pour cent de la population déplacée (1 169 267 personnes) se trouvaient au Burkina Faso, 20 pour cent au Mali (361 034), 11 pour cent au Niger (198 613) et 4 pour cent en Mauritanie(68 855).

DTM teams activated Emergency Event Tracking (EET) to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by inter-communal conflict between Masalit and Arab tribes. Clashes initially erupted on 16 January 2021 in the Krinding area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur. Since 3 April 2021, inter-communal conflict has escalated in the Hai Eljabal area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur, resulting in additional displacement. The fourteenth update incorporates this new caseload and estimates a total number of 164,985 individuals (33,531 households) seeking shelter in Ag Geneina and its surrounding villages, having been displaced from Krinding 1 and 2 IDP camps (33%), Hai Eljabal area (29%), Sultan House area (10%) and other sites nearby (28%). This represents an 11 per cent increase in displacement since the thirteenth update due to the most recent clashes, with newly displaced households arriving from Muli and Kogar village, Um Dowin, Al Bohira, Abuzar IDP camp, and the Hai Eljabal area of Ag Geneina town. The new caseload of 15,870 individuals (3,174 households) are located across 27 sites in Ag Geneina town at present, ten per cent of whom have joined existing displacement sites and 90 per cent of whom are situated across 12 newly identified sites in Ag Geneina town (such as, but not limited to, UNAMID, Gold Valley Hotel, College of Health Sciences, House of Resistance Committees, Majlis Mosque, and the United Peace Organization). DTM teams managed to collect data on additional vulnerabilities (not captured in Update 13) to identify at least 5,801 individuals from the recent clashes in need of assistance and support. Upon further verification, this brings the total reported vulnerabilities for the entire caseload to 20,189. Since the thirteenth update, DTM teams identify 106 individuals have been killed and 62 sustained injuries during the recent clashes, whilst at least 2,011 new IDPs have lost personal belongings and livestock (bringing the total death toll upon further verification to 364 deaths, 703 injuries and 22,364 individuals suffering severe losses throughout the conflict). Based on a ranking scale, the three main priority needs for the displaced caseload in Ag Geneina town are WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), food and emergency shelter. The arrival of the new caseload has resulted in a shortage of available water for the whole town. On the other hand, the three main priority needs for the displaced caseload in the villages surrounding Ag Geneina town remain as food, non-food items and WASH.

This infographic presents the key findings of Round 35 of the mobility tracking component of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme in Libya.

This report presents the findings of round 35 of the Mobility Tracking component of IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme, covering January – February 2021. During the reporting period, an increasing number of previously displaced families returned to their places of origin as the security situation continued to be stable while the political process continued towards implementation of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum roadmap. The number of returnees identified during this round of data collection increased to 623,219 returnees, compared to 604,965 returnees reported in the previous round. In line with the increases in returnees, the number of IDPs identified in Libya decreased to 245,483 individuals in Round 35.  

Following the recent attacks in Palma Sede, DTM teams in Nangade, Mueda, Montpuez, and Pemba districts continue to register significant rise in IDP arrivals since 27 March.

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 depuis le 13 avril 2021 dans deux sites du département de Diffa.

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation. This dashboard provides information on population movements which occurred from 13 April 2021 in two sites of the Département of Diffa.

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements. Since 11 April 2021, following armed conflict and clashes in the Central African Republic (CAR), thousands of Chadian and Central African nationals are crossing the border and found refuge in the city of Sido in the south of Chad. Returnees have found refuge in Sido in the offiical school of Centre A and in the spontaneous site of Ngandaza. As of 19 April 2021, 789 households of 7,212 Chadian nationals have settled in two locations (481 households composed of 4 400 individuals at the school and 308 households composed of 2,812 individuals at Ngandaza). The data presented in this report was collected from the 17 to 19 April 2021 through discussions with key informants composed of local authorities and representatives of Chadian returnees. In addition, five group discussions were held with returnees (3 groups of women et 2 groups of men). This report seeks to provide an overview of the demographic profile of these returnees, as well as their situations and needs in host locations.
