Clashes erupted on 23 April 2021 across multiple villages to the west of Nyala town, namely, Gussa Jammat, Mansoura, Sersera, Bilili, Miro Kabar, Habanyia and Dambo Dambo. Most of these villages have been burned down. The affected population have fled to Kalma IDP camp, where they were previously displaced during last year’s rainy season. With the suspension of humanitarian operations due to security concerns until 2 May, DTM teams visited Kalma IDP camp as soon as the situation allowed to gather initial data and produce this first update.
