Mobility Tracking

This report represents an overview of DTM Early Warning Flash Alerts published between April and May 2024.

DTM Sudan released 62 flash alerts reporting on incidents of sudden displacement between April and May 2024, including incidents related to armed clashes (23 incidents), natural disasters (21 incidents), attacks or fears of attacks (16 incidents), and inter-communal conflicts (2 incidents). States with the most reported incidents were: North Darfur (23 incidents), North Kordofan (9 incidents), and South Kordofan (7 incidents).

Notably, DTM Sudan published more flash alerts during April and May 2024 than any other two-month reporting period since the onset of conflict on 15 April 2023, publishing twice as many alerts compared to February and March 2024 (31 published flash alerts). The increase primarily reflected the escalation in clashes across Al Fasher, North Darfur.

Note: DTM Sudan regularly releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to report on specific incidents that triggered or may trigger sudden displacement in Sudan. Flash alerts provide preliminary estimates of displacement figures due to a specific incidents. Figures in flash alerts therefore may or may not be indicative of broader displacement dynamics. More comprehensive information about displacement and mobility in Sudan is available in the Sudan Mobility Update. Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: military operations (306 individuals or 23%), poor living conditions (275 individuals or 21%), fear of attack (245 individuals or 19%), seasonal farming (243 individuals or 19%) improved security (150 individuals or
11%) and family re-unification (86 individuals or 7%).

Between 13 and 19 May 2024, a total of 870 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Gubio, Gwoza, Hawul, Jere, and Kaga Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State and in Gombi, Hong, Madagali, Michika, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. Districts covered in this round include Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Dayniile, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, Luuq.

ETT is a crisis-based tool that tracks sudden displacement triggered by specific events or emerging crises. The objective of ETT is to help prioritize humanitarian response and to enable partners to deliver rapid assistance. Based on previous shock induced displacement patterns, the humanitarian community expects that people will continue to move toward urban areas in search of humanitarian services. Consequently, the ETT coverage focuses on the main urban centers and surrounding villages for each assessed district. The data is collected through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) at the location level, from Sunday to Wednesday every week. It includes information on new arrivals, numbers and demographic of IDPs, reasons for displacement, intentions, humanitarian assistance and priority needs among others.

The ETT tool also adapts to regional contexts: because of the very high number of IDP sites in Khada and Daynile districts in Banadir region and in Baidoa district in Bay region, a zonal approach has been adopted for these areas. Each week, KIIs are first conducted at the zone level to indicate to the field teams which locations have received the most new arrivals and which need to be assessed. To facilitate the joint analysis of the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Cluster’s New Arrivals Tracker (NAT) and ETT data, the assistance and needs indicators are identical in both tools.
