The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with non-state armed groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations. As of August 2023, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 6,077,690 affected individuals made up of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees (former IDPs and returnees from abroad) and refugees (both in- and out-of-camp).

Activity
- Flow Monitoring
In August 2023, 25,213 migratory movements were observed at flow monitoring points (FMP) in Dijibouti, with a daily average of 813 migratory movements. Migration flows observed across all FMPs increased by 17% in August compared to July 2023 during which 21,573 movements were recorded.
Of these 25,213 movements, 4,357 (17%) were observed in the Obock region where migrants cross the Gulf of Aden towards the Arabian Peninsula. Migratory flows to the FMP of Obock have seen a drop of 6% compared to the month of July 2023. This drop can be attributed to the amplification of surveillance operations by the Djiboutian Coast Guard in Obock and due to difficult weather conditions in this period of violent winds and rough seas.
Between January and August 2023, arrivals from Ethiopia (84,814) saw a significant increase of 42% compared to the same period of the previous year (59,609). Migratory movements were mainly: transiting towards the Arabian Peninsula (45%), incoming (43%), transiting within Djibouti (5%), transiting towards Ethiopia (4%), and outgoing (3%). Spontaneous returns from Yemen fell by 57% from 805 in July to 349 in Augusts, including women (7%).

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements as well as on security and climate emergencies. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation. This dashboard presents information on a movement which occurred on 13 September 2023 in the town of Ounianga-Kébir, situated in the province of Ennedi Ouest, near the Libyan border.
On September 9th, 2023, a total of 61 Chadian and 1 Nigerian nationals (ten among them are unaccompanied children) were collectively expelled to Libya and arrived in the town of OuniangaKébir on 13 September 2023. Additionally, these individuals reported having spent between 3 months and 3 years in Libyan prison in Koufra before being expelled. It has been noted that, most of the expelled persons come from Abéché, Ati and Amtiman. Therefore, the 62 expelled individuals have not received any assistance and are living in a situation of extreme vulnerability (several of the unaccompanied children are reported ill) and do not have any support to continue their trip towards their communities of origin. As such, they reported urgent needs in food after going several days without eating, medication, as well as transport assistance to their localities of origin.

La provincia del Darién se ubica en la frontera este de Panamá, y su territorio forma parte de las rutas migratorias más utilizadas por personas en situación de movilidad humana por las Américas para migrar desde el sur hacia el norte del continente. A su vez, esta ruta es altamente peligrosa por las características geográficas del Parque Nacional Darién y la presencia de crimen organizado. Las personas que la transitan se encuentran expuestas a riesgos varios como la trata de personas, tráfico ilícito, violencia basada en género, diversas formas de explotación y abuso. El uso de estas rutas inseguras para llegar a destinos temporarios o finales plantea amenazas para la integridad, dignidad y la vida de las personas migrantes.
Entre el 01 y el 31 de julio de 2023 se registraron 55.387 personas migrantes ingresando irregularmente por la provincia Darién, suponiendo un promedio de 1.786 migrantes ingresando diariamente. Entre los meses de enero y julio de 2023 ingresaron 251.758 personas, una cifra tres veces superior a la registrada en las mismas fechas del 2022 (72.274).
