The IOM DTM team in partnership with WFP conducted a biometric registration in Panyijar County, Unity from 13 February - 16 April 2017 to record accurate cross-sectional data that better reflects the reality on the ground in areas of high humanitarian needs. The team has registered 69,389 individuals/15,494 households in total. 8% of the registered population identified with the vulnerabilities.

On 27 April, SPLA forces advanced on Kodok. The attack has led to further displacement in the area, pushing a large number of people toward Abruoc. This displacement will add to the numbers that had been arriving following SPLA operations in Panyikang earlier in April. With the attack on Kodok, a large number of people are believed to have attempted to make the journey to the Sudanese border. Currently approximately 7,000 IDPs are believed to be in Megenis, predominantly from the Kodok area. The total population of approximately 27,000 civilians counted to be in the Abruoc area prior to the recent violence in Abruoc is likely to remain stable, with the recent influxes likely to have replaced the numbers that have left to Sudan.

DTM recorded 59,875 IDP families comprised of 359,250individuals. The majority of recorded IDPs originated from Mosul District (324,828 individuals). Most IDPs are living in camps or emergency sites (309,702 individuals). As of 3 May 2017, returns have been recorded from Nargizliya 1 and 2 camps to Markaz Mosul. Ongoing field visits allowed to identify IDP and returnee families across different locations in Ninewa, particularly in Al-Qayara and Al-Shura sub-district. Qayyara Airstrip emergency site reported an overall increase of 42 IDP families. 

The cumulative total of IDPs recorded by DTM during this period was 473,280 individuals comprising 78,880 families. Of these, 359,250 individuals (comprising 59,875 families) are still displaced. 214,872 people are currently residing in emergency camps (60%). DTM also recorded 114,030 individual returnees.

Relief agencies continue to provide assistance to new arrivals at existing displacement sites since population influxes following the outbreak of violence on April 10. The most affected sites are the UN protection of civilians (PoC) site adjacent to the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) base and the Cathedral collective centre, which combined have received an estimated 20,000 people.

Depuis février 2016, l'OIM Niger effectue un suivi des flux migratoires sur deux points de la région d'Agadez au Niger. Les points de suivi des flux migratoires sont placés sur des lieux de transit sur les routes migratoires du Niger. Les données, collectées à partir de sources primaires, fournissent un aperçu des mouvements migratoires dans la région. Les flux observés sur les points sont en baisse depuis septembre 2016. Ceci coïncide avec le renforcement des contrôles des migrants à travers la région. De surcroît, les mouvements migratoires à travers l’Afrique de l’Ouest observent généralement une baisse pendant la période hivernale. En mars 2017, 4 781 individus sortants et 8 416 individus rentrants ont été observés sur deux points de suivi des flux actifs. La grande majorité des migrants identifiés (91%) sont des hommes.
