Pendant le mois d’avril 2022, 16 339 mouvements ont été observés aux points de suivi des flux (Flow Monitoring Points, FMP) à
Djibouti, soit une moyenne journalière de 545 mouvements. Les flux migratoires ont augmenté de seulement 2 pour cent par
rapport au mois de mars 2022, pendant lequel 518 mouvements avaient été observés en moyenne chaque jour. Cependant, ils
n’ont pas encore atteint les niveaux observés pendant la période antérieure à la pandémie de COVID-19 (entre mars 2019 et
mars 2020, la moyenne journalière était de 654).

Sur ces 16 339 mouvements, 2 950 (18%) ont été observés à Obock dans la région côtière de Djibouti où les migrants
traversent le golfe d'Aden vers la péninsule arabique le long de ce que l'on appelle la route de l'est.

Depuis janvier 2022, les mouvements en provenance de l’Éthiopie ont connu une hausse significative (21%) par rapport à ceux
observés mensuellement l’an dernier pendant la même période. En 2022, un total de 35 269 migrants de l’Éthiopie sont entrés à
Djibouti. Par ailleurs, 2 390 Éthiopiens sont revenus du Yémen depuis janvier 2022. En effet, au début de la pandémie de
COVID-19, ces retours étaient principalement dûs aux restrictions de mouvement en vigueur au Yémen et en Arabie Saoudite.

In April 2022, 16,339 movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in Djibouti, representing a daily average
of 545 movements. Migration flows increased by only 2 per cent compared to the month of March 2022, during which an
average of 518 movements had been registered daily. It is worth highlighting that migration flows have not yet reached pre-
COVID-19 levels (between March 2019 and March 2020, the daily average was 654).

Of these 16,339 movements, 2,950 (18%) were observed in Obock. This coastal region of Djibouti is the main gateway for
migrants going to and returning from the Arabian Peninsula. Migrants regroup at congregation points in the Obock region where
they then cross the Gulf of Aden on boats along what is known as the Eastern route.

Since January 2022, movements from Ethiopia have increased sharply (21%) compared to those observed monthly last year
during the same period. In 2022, a total of 35,269 migrants from Ethiopia entered Djibouti. In addition, 2,390 Ethiopians have
returned from Yemen since January 2022. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, these movements were mainly due to
mobility restrictions imposed in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Subsequently, the progressive deterioration of living conditions in
Yemen also triggered growing numbers of spontaneous returns. The trend of these returns has been steadily increasing since the
beginning of the year.

In response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, Iraqi authorities have imposed mobility restrictions since March 2020, aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. These measures include restrictions on travel and limitations on freedom of movement, such as the closure of airports and points of entry (PoEs) along land borders and maritime boundaries, as well as domestic movement restrictions. Between 25 August and 7 September 2020, IOM

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Iraq assessed 30 locations, of which 7 were reported as closed, 7 partially open, and 16 open for commercial traffic only. This report presents an overview of mobility restrictions for the 23 monitored PoEs that are partially open or open for commercial traffic only, as well as for Iraq in general
