Overview

From 15 April 2023, armed clashes erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Clashes initially took place in cities across Northern and Khartoum states, later spreading across the Darfur and Kordofan regions.

Key Findings

• DTM Sudan estimates that 4,551,795 Individuals (907,833 Households) have been recently internally displaced.
• The IDP caseload has been observed in 4,647 locations across all of Sudan’s 18 states.
• The highest proportions of IDPs have been observed in River Nile (12.66%), South Darfur (11.19%), East Darfur (11.01%), Aj Jazirah (8.07%), Northern (7.97%), and North Darfur (7.37%).
• Field teams report that the IDPs observed were originally displaced from eight states. The majority (3,120,044 IDPs, 68.55%) have been reportedly displaced from Khartoum state; followed by South Darfur (14.58%), North Darfur (7.97%), Central Darfur (3.99%), West Darfur (3.75%), South Kordofan (0.72%), North Kordofan (0.43%), and Aj Jazirah (0.01%).
• IOM DTM also reports that an estimated 1,237,103 mixed cross-border movements have been made into neighbouring countries.

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on estimated numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis from their locations of origin or displacement, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of estimated numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks returnees who returned to their location of origin.                                                                                                

From 1 January to 7 October 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 4,652 households (HH) (27,912 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 1 and 7 October 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 35 households (210 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:                                                                                        

• Ta’iz (13 HHs) – Al Makha (12 HHs), Salah (1 HH) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ma’rib (11 HHs) – Ma’rib (6 HHs), Ma’rib City (5 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Hajjah and Ta’iz.
• Lahj (5 HHs) – Tuban (3 HHs), Al Hawtah (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Ta’iz.

The majority of people moved from the following governorates and districts:

• Ta’iz (19 HHs) – Maqbanah (8 HHs), At Ta’iziyah (4 HHs), Al Waziyah (3 HHs) districts.

IOM works with national and local authorities in order to gain a better understanding of population movements throughout Southern Africa. Through
the setup of Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs), IOM seeks to quantify migration flows, trends and routes and to gain a better understanding of the profiles of observed individuals at entry, transit or exit points (such as border crossing posts, bus stations, rest areas, police checkpoints and reception centres). This report is an overview of the data collected in these FMPs from 1 to 31 August 2023. Inter-regional migration from and within the Southern Africa is categorized along the following corridors. The Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were set-up in several key transit locations along the corridors to track the movements of passengers:

• Zimbabwe (Mutare) – Mozambique (Manica)

• Zimbabwe (Chirundu) – Zambia

• Zimbabwe – Botswana (Plumtree)

• Zimbabwe – South Africa (Beitbridge)

• Malawi (Mchinji) – Zambia (Mwami)

• Malawi (Karonga) – United Republic of Tanzania

• Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue)

• Malawi (Mangochi) – Mozambique

• Mozambique (Ressano Garcia) – South Africa

Over the reporting period a total of 71,106 movements were observed across 43 FMPs in the region. The Zimbabwe – South Africa (Beitbridge) corridor hosted the largest number of movements with 42,394 (60%), followed by the Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) corridor with 10,038 (14%) and the Zimbabwe (Chirundu) – Zambia corridor with 5,764 (8%) movements reported.
