Reports

La DTM a identifié 127 775 personnes déplacées internes (PDI) réparties dans 28 569 ménages déplacés, 85% des déplacements étaient dus à des catastrophes naturelles et 15% à d'autres raisons.

In the month of June, there were few hazards reported as the MAM rainy season came to end. Most of the disasters that were reported in the previous months were mostly triggered by rains in most districts of Uganda. Flash floods were reported in Nabbongo and Bwikhonge sub-counties in Bulambuli districts in the month of June. The flash floods affected at total of 1,536 persons from a total of 200 households in Bulambuli district. Busui village was the highly affected with 127 individual from 14 households and this was followed by Buwala village with 133 individuals. There were no internally displaced persons (IDPs) reported during the reporting period. There was high need for nonfood items (NFIs) as several households were affected. There was need for food, water supply, sanitation and WASH related assistance in the affected villages in Bulambuli district. It was reported that rains received in the MAM rain season were not favorable and conducive to the farmers in the previous months. Therefore, districts in the Southwestern, West Nile, Rwenzori and Lango regions are most likely to be exposed to drought in the coming months as there was less and agricultural activities. High temperatures are also expected and low rainfall in the country except the Karamoja region which is expected to receive above normal rains in July 2021 as predicted by IGAD. Flash floods are expected in Teso, Elegu border in Amuru district, and Karamoja sub region while mudslides/landslides are likely to occur over Elgon sub region.

This report is part of the outputs under the European Union funded project “Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP)”. The objective of DTM REMAP is to strengthen the evidence-based formulation and implementation of humanitarian and development policy and programming on migration and forced displacement in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Islamic Republic of Iran, Republic of Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan through the use of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movement to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States, located in the North East Zone. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.   During the period 03 - 09 July 2021, 219 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 84 were incoming from Cameroon’s Far North Region, while 135 were outgoing from Borno State to Cameroon‘s Far North Region.   A range of data is collected during the assessment to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 1 to 4 below:

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round One), and activated on a need basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a multidimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves attacks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). The crisis has accelerated during the past years because of the intensification of attacks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.   Between 05 and 11 July 2021, armed clashes between herdsmen and farmers; and bandits and local communities have led to new waves of population displacement. Following these events, 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 attacks affected 2,166 individuals including 70 injuries and 157 fatalities in Faskari, Batsari LGAs of Katsina state, Tsafe, Gummi, Bukkuyum and Zurmi LGAs of Zamfara State and Zango Kataf LGA of Kaduna state. The attacks caused people to flee to neighbouring localities.

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 the beginning of March, repeated attacks by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) have been reported in Dikwa LGA. Following these attacks, numerous displacements have occurred and continue to occur until today. Flow monitoring assessments have been conducted by IOM DTM field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners about forced population movements, and enabling targeted response. DTM enumerators were deployed in the transit point Dikwa Motor Park in the ward Dusuman in Jere LGA. IDPs passing through the transit point were asked about their intended destinations and most needed assistance. Since the beginning of May, it was noted that numerous households have started to return to their locations of origin. These return movements were also captured at Dikwa Motor Park in the ward Dusuman and are presented on the map and graphic below.     As a result of the attacks between 3 and 9 July 2021, a total of 1,287 individuals were displaced from Dikwa LGA towards the LGAs Jere and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council. They arrived at Dikwa Motor Park from various camps and communities in Dikwa LGA. As presented on the map below, their intended destinations were locations in the LGAs Jere and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council in Borno State. Since the first attack in Dikwa on 1 March 2021, a total of 25,430 IDPs have been recorded by DTM in Dikwa Motor Park. They were displaced from Dikwa LGA and en route to destinations in the LGAs Jere and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council in Borno State. Additionally, since 1 May 2021, a total of 11,910 returnees have been recorded by DTM in the same transit point. They are returning from locations in the LGA Maiduguri Metropolitan Council towards Dikwa LGA. 

Suite à un enlèvement perpétré par un groupe armé non-étatique le 20 juin 2021 dans la sous-préfecture de Liwa (département de Fouli), 150 ménages de 809 individus ont quitté de manière préventive le site de Haoura 1 (situé au sein de la même sous-préfecture) et sont arrivés à la date du 25 juin 2021 dans  le site de Ngourtou-Koumboua situé dans la sous-préfecture de Baga-Sola (département de Kaya). Les 28 juin et 4 juillet 2021, suite à un affrontement entre deux communautés survenu le 17 juin 2021 dans le village de Layrom (sous-préfecture de Bol, département de Mamdi), 95 ménages de 461 individus ont quitté ce village et les villages voisins de Kolorom, Kemi et Bolorom. Parmi eux, 44 ménages de 251 individus se sont refugiés dans le site de  Ngourtou Koumboua situé dans la sous-préfecture de Bagasola (Département de Kaya) et 51 ménages de 210 individus dans  le site de Melea 1 situé dans la sous-préfecture de Bol (Département de Mamdi).

Following a kidnapping perpetrated by a Non-State Armed Group on 20 June 2021 in the sous-préfecture of Liwa (Département of Fouli), 150 households of 809 individuals left the site of Haoura 1 (located in the same sous-préfecture)  in a preventive manner and arrived on 25 June 2021 at the site of Ngourtou-Koumboua located in the sous-préfecture of Baga-Sola (Kaya department).   On 28 June and 4 July 2021, following a clash between two communities on 17 June 2021 in the village of Layrom (sous-préfecture of Bol, Département of Mamdi), 95 households of 461 individuals left this village and neighbouring villages of Kolorom, Kemi and Bolorom. Among them, 44 households of 251 individuals took refuge in the Ngourtou Koumboua site located in the sous-prefecture of Baga-Sola (Département of Kaya) and 51 households of 210 individuals in the site of Melea 1 located in the sous-prefecture of Bol (Département of Mamdi).
