La transhumance est une pratique très répandue en Afrique, surtout dans la zone Australe et Centrale, y compris en République Centrafricaine (RCA). Cependant, depuis plusieurs années, la transhumance en RCA est marquée par pics de tensions entre différents groupes d’éleveurs transhumants d’une part, entre groupes armés et éleveurs transhumants d’autre part, mais aussi entre éleveurs transhumants et population sédentaires (habitants des localités ou agriculteurs) au point de générer des déplacements internes à travers le pays. L’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) et l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) travaillent conjointement sous financement du Peace Building Fund (PBF), à la mise en oeuvre du projet « Restauration de la paix et du dialogue entre les communautés affectées par la transhumance transfrontalières RCA-Tchad ». La contribution de l’OIM par le biais de la DTM se concentre sur la collecte de données visant à renforcer et faciliter les stratégies et mécanismes de gestion pacifique des conflits suscités par la transhumance, au travers de la mise à disposition de données fiables et de cartographie sur les mobilités pastorales. Ce rapport met l’accent sur l’impact des mouvements de transhumance sur les communautés vivant le long des axes géographiques du projet : Préfectures de la Nana-Gribizi, Bamingui-Bangoran, et l’Ouham, plus spécifiquement dans 129 localités. La collecte de données a eu lieu entre 01er Janvier 2020 et le 15 Février 2020.

This Middle East and North Africa (MENA) report summarizes mobility restrictions at airports, land, and blue border crossing points resulting from the mitigation measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic  

DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects and reports on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography and needs. In the first eights months of 2020, conflict and natural disasters have resulted in new patterns of displacement, particularly in Marib, Al Hudaydah, Al Dhale'e, Taizz, and Al Jawf governorates.      From 01 January 2020- 12 Sep 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 22,905 Households or 137,430 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once.                                                                                                                     Between the 6th Sep 2020 and 12th of Sep 2020, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 541 Households or 3,246 individuals displaced at least once, the highest number of displacements were seen in:                                                         Marib   (461 HH) – Marib City (172 HH), Al Jubah (105 HH), Harib (81 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.              Taizz (30 HH) – Mawza (9 HH), Salh (9 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.                        Al Dhale'e (29 HH) – Qa'atabah (15 HH), Ad Dhale'e (8 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.                                                                       Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts. Marib (448 HH) – Rahabah (144 HH),Mahliyah (99 HH),Harib (90 HH) districts. Taizz (27 HH) – Maqbanah (6 HH), Dimnat Khadir (5 HH) districts.                                Al Dhale'e (22 HH) – Qa'atabah (15 HH) district.    

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Sudan (GoS) declared a nationwide health emergency and introduced mitigation measures in March 2020 to reduce the transmission of the virus. These measures include restrictions on travel due to closure of airports, points of entry (POE) along land borders and maritime boundaries, as well as domestic movement restrictions.

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 deux mouvements de personnes, survenus les 6 et 9 septembre 2020 dans un village de la province du Lac. Suite à une attaque armée survenue le 4 septembre 2020 dans le village de Bikerom situé dans les îles du lac Tchad (sous-préfecture de Kangalam, département de Mamdi), 151 ménages (703 individus) se sont réfugiés dans le village de Tetewa (également situé dans les îles du lac Tchad, au sein de la même sous-préfecture). 

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 displacement which occurred on 6 and 9 September 2020 in one village of Lac Province.  Following an armed attack which occurred on 4 September 2020 in the village of Bikerom located on the islands of Lake Chad (Kangalam sous-préfecture, Mamdi département), 151 households (703 individuals) took refuge in the village of Tetewa (also located on the islands of Lake Chad, in the same sous-préfecture).

In order to capture the displacement and return dynamics in Ethiopia, DTM Ethiopia's National Displacement Report combines findings from its Site Assessment (SA) in Section 1 and findings from the Village Assessment Survey (VAS) in Section 2. The Site Assessment tracks the number and multisectoral needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs), while the Village Assessment Survey tracks the number of IDPs who are returning to their communities and their multisectoral needs. VAS is also used to evaluate the absorption capacity of villages receiving returns with a focus on accessibility of services, livelihoods and reintegration. Notably, the impact of COVID-19 on IDPs and villages hosting returning IDPs was also evaluated this round.  Through the Site Assessment which was conducted from 1 June to 5 July 2020, DTM captured 1,820,811 IDPs (329,084 households) in 1,297 sites across the 11 regions of Ethiopia. The biggest causes of displacement were conflict which displaced 1,233,557 IDPs (68%), followed by drought which displaced 351,062 IDPs (19%), seasonal floods which displaced 104,696 IDPs (6%) and flash floods which displaced 50,093 IDPs (3%). VAS was carried out during the same period and covered 1,205 villages across 8 regions. A total of 1,400,892 returning IDPs, 10,603 IDPs, 11,595 returned migrants and 1,226,690 host community members were tracked through VAS.  

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, and 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 needs 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.

A total of 1,665 movements were recorded, comprising 1,279 arrivals and 386 departures, between 31 August and 6 September 2020. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Gwoza, Hawul, Mobbar, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most-affected Nigerian State of Borno. Arrivals were also recorded in Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of the state of Adamawa. Departures were recorded in Askira/Uba, Hawul, Kala/Balge and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council LGAs of Borno; Demsa, Girei, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola SouthLGAs of Adamawa.   ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (44.7%), poor living conditions (30.2%), conflict/atack (12.8%), improved security (10.5%), involuntary relocation (1.0%) and fear of attack (0.8%).

  From 26 August to 08 Sep• 73 new cases – 18 new deaths ~source (https://covid19.who.int/region/emro/country/ye)• Updates on numbers of new cases in areas controlled by Sana’a DFA are not available.• 280 new migrants arrived to southern governorates (Shabwah and Lahj) in addition to 187 Yemeni returns from Saudi Arabia.• No IDP HH displaced due to COVID-19 fear during the reporting period (26th Aug to 07th Sep). Hence, so far the total number of households who have cited COVID-19 as the primary reason for displacement is 1,545 households (within Aden. Lahj, Al Dhale’e, Taiz, Marib, and Abyan governorate).• Stranded migrants: Around 3,089 Ethiopian stranded migrants were identified in southern governorates since the beginning of April till date. ​

Les conflits agro-pastoraux liés à la transhumance, pratique ancestrale au Cameroun et dans la sous-région, sont devenus une cause d’insécurité majeure à la frontière avec le Tchad et la RCA. L’outil de suivi des mouvements de transhumance (Transhumance Tracking Tool) mis en place depuis Août 2020 dans les régions de l’Est, de l’Adamaoua et du Nord, permet de comprendre les dynamiques liées à la transhumance transfrontalière avec le Tchad et la République Centrafricaine. Le TTT combine trois composantes, l’alerte, la cartographie et le comptage. Ce rapport détaille les premières données de l’outil d’alerte. Entre le 4 et le 30 août 2020, 33 alertes ont été reçues, dont 28  alertes événements et 5 alertes prévention.La moitié des événements conflictuels ont été résolus, mais l’autre moitié, soit 14 événements, présentent encore des risques de représailles, essentiellement à l’Est, dans les arrondissements de Kette et Garoua Boulai et au Nord, dans l’arrondissement de Madingring.Cinq mouvements inattendus de 3 225 bêtes accompagnées de 24 personnes ont été recensés risquant de provoquer des conflits agro-pastoraux, dont quatre mouvements de transhumance nationale de l’Adamaoua vers l’Est et un mouvement de transhumance transnationale du Tchad vers le Congo, passant par le Cameroun.

During the reporting period, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases increased rapidly, from 3,621 at the end of July to 14,624 by the end of August (+11,003). Most confirmed COVID-19 cases in Libya were identified in Tripoli, Misrata, Zliten as well as Sebha and surrounding areas.
