Surging communal violence between ethnic and religious groups, and long-standing conflicts between farming communities and with nomadic herders are prevalent across north-east Nigeria. These conflicts are predominantly centered on disputes over land and cause great insecurity and widespread displacement across the region.   On 19 April 2021, a clash between neighbouring Waja and Lunguda communities in Balanga LGA in Gombe state was reported which led to a wave of population displacement. Following this event, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected populations.   The latest clash affected a total of 1,561 individuals in Balanga LGAs of Gombe State who were forced to flee their locations of origin towards villages in Hong LGA in the neighbouring state of Adamawa. A total of 33 casualties were recorded and 130 shelters were damaged.

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. On 22 April 2021, an estimated number of 749 IDPs were registered in the four districts bringing the total number of IDPs to 24,509 people who have been displaced from Palma.

DTM teams activated Emergency Event Tracking (EET) to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by intra-communal conflict in As Serief, North Darfur. Between 31 March and 3 April 2021, violent clashes erupted within the Bani Hassen tribe in As Serief town, causing many households to flee the area towards Kebkabiya and its surrounds. The villages surrounding As Serief have been looted and burnt down. Armed forces have been deployed to contain the situation, which remains tense and unpredictable.   The first update estimates a total number of 1,140 individuals (247 households) displaced across Medan Alkgeel, Hai Alsafa and Hai Alkobri villages (Kebkabiya locality), and seeking shelter with host communities, in rented accommodation, abandoned buildings or critical shelters, as well as gathering in open areas. All individuals are Sudanese nationals. At least 109 individuals of the captured caseload have additional vulnerabilities in need of assistance and support. Reports indicate that all the internally displaced persons (IDPs) have lost personal belongings and livestock. Based on a ranking scale, the three main priority needs identified are food, non-food items and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene). Field teams report that the displacement is ongoing, with figures expected to rise. 

Ce tableau de bord présente les principaux résultats de suivi de mouvements de la population dans la province du Kasaï Central à l’issue du 2ème cycle d’évaluation conduite par la DTM. Ces évaluations ont été réalisées à travers un exercice de collecte de données mené du 4 au 29 décembre 2020, en collaboration avec l’ONG locale Promotion De Développement Humain Et Protection De l’Environnement Social (PDHPES), et la Division Provinciale des Affaires Humanitaires (DIVAH). Lors de ce cycle, un total de 4 176 villages, couvrant 26 zones de santé, ont été évalués grâceà 11 842 informateurs clés.

L’outil de suivi des urgences (ETT, Emergency Tracking Tool) de la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM, Displacement Tracking Matrix) a pour but de recueillir des informations sur les mouvements importants et soudains de populations. Depuis le 11 avril 2021, suite à des affrontements armés en République Centrafricaine (RCA), des milliers de ressortissants tchadiens et centrafricains traversent la frontière pour se réfugier dans la ville de Sido au Sud du Tchad.  À Sido, ces personnes se sont refugiées dans l’école officielle centre A et dans un site spontané dans la localité de Ngandaza. A la date du 19 avril 2021, 789 ménages de 7 212 ressortissants tchadiens étaient installés dans ces deux lieux d’accueil (481 ménages de 4 400 personnes à l’école officielle centre A et 308 ménages de 2 812 personnes à Ngandaza). Les données présentées dans ce rapport ont été collectées du 17 au 19 avril 2021 à travers les discussions avec des informateurs clés constitués des autorités locales et des représentants des personnes retournées (uniquement des ressortissants tchadiens). En outre, cinq groupes de discussion avec les personnes retournées (3 avec les groupes des femmes et 2 avec les hommes) ont été conduits. Le présent rapport cherche à fournir un aperçu sur le profil démographique de ces personnes retournées, ainsi que sur leurs situations et besoins dans les lieux d’accueil.

On 16 April 2021 at 2:00PM, just five days since the last fire outbreak, another fire was recorded at Gongolong Kareram Camp that reportedly destroyed shelters and belongings of numerous IDP households.   This incident fully destroyed 287 makeshift shelters and partially damaged 17 makeshift shelters, affecting a total of 736 individuals in 152 households. The affected individuals include 393 children, 157 women and 186 men.   Additionally, 2 blocks of toilets and 2 blocks of showers were destroyed by the fire. The victims of these fire outbreaks, who are currently residing with friends and relatives in the camp and in the host communities, are in desperate need of shelter, food and NFIs.

The lingering conflict in Nigeria's North East Zone has been the major cause of widespread population displacement. Over 2 million persons have been forced to leave their areas of residence in search of safety and security in neighbouring Wards and LGAs.   Since 13 April 2021, multiple attacks have been carried out by a Non-State Armed Group (NSAG) in Damasak, Mobbar LGA, leading to a substantial wave of population displacement. Following the attack, a rapid assessment was conducted by DTM field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enabling targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of the affected population.   Since 15 April 2021, a total of 928 individuals have been displaced from Mobbar LGA in Borno State towards Geidam LGA in Yobe State as a result of the attacks. They arrived at Geidam LGA in Yobe State from various camps and communities in Mobbar LGA of Borno State. As presented on the map below, their intended destinations were locations in Geidam LGA  in Yobe State.

Following the completion of biometric registration update and verification at Stadium Camp in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC) in the northeastern state of Borno, 18,151 individuals (3,472 households) have been registered as per 14 April 2021. The average family size within this camp is 5 individuals. As demonstrated in the figure 2, 12 per cent of households contain 1-2 members, 29 per cent containing 3-4 members, 33 per cent containing 5-6 members, 17 per cent containing 7-8 members, 4 per cent containing 9 members and 5 per cent containing 10 and more members.   Between 29 March and 14 April 2021, 12,280 individuals (in 2,837 households), representing 68 per cent of the total registered population were re-verified. 5,871 individuals (in 635 households), representing 32 per cent of the total registered population were newly registered. The majority or 59 per cent of the newly registered individuals are from Kukawa LGA, 35 per cent are from Konduga LGA, 4 per cent from Bama LGA and the remaining 2 per cent from other LGAs within and outside Borno.   During the exercise, data on vulnerabilities was collected in order to understand the specific needs of the displaced populations and allow for targeted support. Out of the total population, 1,783 individuals (10%) are experiencing some of the major vulnerability concerns presented in figure 3 below.
