In response to the Somalia’s severe drought beginning in November 2021, DTM Somalia launched an Emergency Trends Tracking (ETT) tool first in Gedo and Bay regions in 2022, and subsequently in Hiraan, Banadir and Middle Shabelle regions in 2023 to monitor drought related displacement trends and hotspots in support of operational planning. However, during the first half of 2023, conflict and flooding displacements have been significant. Therefore, DTM restructured its ETT tool to capture multi-shock displacements (drought, flood, conflict and other) from October 2023. In December 2023, ETT coverage has been expanded to Afgoyee district in Lower Shabelle region to cover the migration corridor between Afgoyee and Mogadishu towns.

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.

Between August and September 2023, IOM’s DTM deployed Site Assessment (SA) Round 34 and Village Assessment Survey (VAS) Round 17, carrying out a multisectoral location assessment. It is to be noted that Amhara region was largely uncovered this round due to increased insecurity, and both the IDP and returning IDP caseloads should likely be higher. The National Displacement Map visualizes locations of displacement, density of displacement caseload, primary reasons for displacement, estimated displacement figures, and access constraints.

En novembre 2023, 22 968 mouvements migratoires ont été observés aux points de suivi des flux (FMP) à Djibouti, avec une moyenne quotidienne de 766 mouvements migratoires. Les flux migratoires observés sur l'ensemble des FMP ont légèrement augmenté de 1 pour cent par rapport à octobre 2023 au cours duquel 22 709 mouvements avaient été enregistrées. Sur ces 22 968 mouvements, 6 400 (28%) ont été observés dans la région d'Obock où les migrants traversent le golfe d'Aden en direction de la péninsule arabique. Les flux migratoires aux FMP d'Obock ont connu une augmentation de 31 pour cent par rapport au mois d’octobre 2023. Cette augmentation pourrait être due à une diminution des contrôles aux frontières avec l'Éthiopie conjuguée aux rumeurs de reprise des départs de bateaux à partir des côtes d’Obock où les migrants ont l’habitude de traverser le golfe d'Aden pour rejoindre la péninsule arabique. Entre janvier et novembre 2023, les arrivées en provenance d’Éthiopie ont atteint 110 338) marquant une augmentation significative de 21 pour cent par rapport à la même période de l'année précédente (91 144). Les mouvements migratoires en novembre se sont dirigés principalement: vers la péninsule arabique (51%), entrants (39%), transitants vers l'Éthiopie (5%), transitants à l'intérieur de Djibouti (4%), et sortants (1%). Les retours spontanés depuis le Yémen ont baissé de 14 pour cent en raison des marées hautes agitant la mer, passant de 588 en octobre à 505 en novembre parmi lesquels figuraient 79 femmes (16%).

In November 2023, 22,968 migratory movements were observed at flow monitoring points (FMPs) in Djibouti, with a daily average of 766 migratory movements. Migration flows observed across all FMPs increased slightly by (1%) compared to October 2023 during which 22,709 movements were recorded. Of these 22,968 movements, 6,400 (28%) were observed in the Obock region where migrants cross the Gulf of Aden towards the Arabian Peninsula. Migration flows at the Obock FMP increased by (31%) compared to October 2023. This increase could be due to a reduction in border controls with Ethiopia combined with rumors of resumption of boat departures from the coasts of Obock where migrants are used to crossing the Gulf of Aden to reach the Arabian Peninsula. Between January and November 2023, arrivals from Ethiopia (110,338) saw a significant increase of 21% compared to the same period of the previous year (91,144). Migration movements in November were mainly: towards the Arabian Peninsula (51%), inbound (39%), transiting towards Ethiopia (5%), transiting within Djibouti (4%), and outgoing (1%). Spontaneous returns from Yemen fell by (14%) due to high tides agitating the sea, going from 588 in October to 505 in November, including 79 women (16%).

On December 18th, an armed attack occurred in downtown Ganthier, specifically in the 5th communal section of Pays Pourri, which is situated within the municipality of Ganthier.
