Pendant le mois de mars 2022, 16 044 mouvements ont été observés aux points de suivi des flux (Flow Monitoring Points, FMP) à Djibouti, soit une moyenne journalière de 518 mouvements. Les flux migratoires ont augmenté de seulement 5 pour cent par rapport au mois de février 2022, pendant lequel 544 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 16 044 mouvements, 2 812 (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. De janvier à juin 2020, le nombre d'entrées observées en provenance des frontières ouest de Djibouti a diminué de 99 pour cent en raison de la fermeture des frontières éthiopiennes. Depuis que Djibouti et l'Éthiopie ont repris les services frontaliers en juillet 2020, le nombre de migrants en provenance d'Éthiopie a fortement augmenté. Il est passé de 1 307 mouvements en juillet 2020 à 9 649 en mars 2022. Par ailleurs, 12 378 Éthiopiens sont revenus du Yémen depuis janvier 2021. 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. La progressive détérioration des conditions de vie au Yémen a ensuite également entraîné des retours spontanés de plus en plus nombreux. Après avoir connu une baisse continue depuis le mois d’août 2021, en raison de plusieurs facteurs concomitants, ce chiffre est en augmentation continue depuis le début de l’année avec 452 mouvements en janvier 2022 puis 590 en février 2022 et atteignait 789 en mars 2022.

In March 2022, 16,044 movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in Djibouti, representing a daily average of 518 movements. Migration flows increased by only 5 per cent compared to the month of February 2022, during which an average of 544 movements had been registered daily. It is worth highlighting that migration flows have not yet reached preCOVID-19 levels (between March 2019 and March 2020, the daily average was 654). Of these 16,044 movements, 2,812 (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. From January to June 2020, the number of entries observed from Djibouti’s western borders decreased by 99 per cent due to the closure of Ethiopian borders. Since Djibouti and Ethiopia resumed land services in July 2020, the number of entries from Ethiopia has increased sharply. They went from 1,307 movements in July 2020 to 9,649 in March 2022. In addition, 12,378 Ethiopian nationals have returned from Yemen since January 2021. 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. Following a steady decrease in returns from Yemen observed since August 2021 due to several concurrent factors, this figure has been continuously increasing since the beginning of the year with 452 movements in January 2022 then 590 in February 2022 and reached 789 in March 2022.

IOM Pakistan collects data on the outflows of undocumented Afghan migrants at the Torkham and Chaman border crossing points in an effort to better understand the migration movements of undocumented Afghan migrants returning to Afghanistan from Pakistan. This report is part of the European Union funded project ‘‘Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP)”. Key findings during this reporting period are:

• From January to March 2022, 25,595 undocumented Afghan migrants spontaneously returned to Afghanistan, including 3,225 through the Torkham border point and 22,370 through the Chaman border point.
• Among the total number of undocumented Afghan returnees, border authorities facilitated the return of 538 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Therefore, information concerning these 538 individuals is not included in the report analysis.
• The average family size of returnees was 10 individuals and 13% of all returnees recorded during the reporting period were categorized as vulnerable persons.
• All returnees were carrying household items, personal belongings and cash when surveyed. They also traveled with additional items, such as productive assets (97%) and transportation vehicles (7%).
• The top 3 challenges returnees expected to face in Afghanistan were: arranging livelihood, settling into a new city and finding better income opportunities.

This exercise is part of the European Union funded project “Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP)”. From 09 April to 22 April 2022, 893 undocumented Afghan migrants returned to Afghanistan, including 72 through the Torkham border point and 821 through the Chaman border point. During the reporting period, border authorities facilitated the return of 111 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Therefore, information concerning these 111 individuals is not included in the report analysis.

This Multi-Sectorial Location Assessment (MSLA) report, which presents findings from the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Round 8 assessments, aims to enhance understanding of the extent of internal displacements and the needs of affected populations in conflict-affected districts of Northern Mozambique. Data was collected between 10 January and 15 February 2022 in close coordination with provincial government and Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres (INGD) partners, and presents trends from 66 assessed sites hosting internally displaced persons across nine districts in Cabo Delgado, 3 sites in Niassa, and 2 site in Nampula.

In total, 216,413 internally displaced persons (IDPs) (an increase of 1% since the previous round) or 53,819 households were mapped living in sites assessed during this MSLA. Reported fi gures, however, exclude displaced individuals living in host community settings. According to DTM Round 15 Baseline, as of February 2022, an estimated 702,735 IDPs were identified living in both host communities and sites in Cabo Delgado, 76,568 IDPs in Nampula, and 3,552 IDPs in Niassa.

This Round 10 of the COVID-19 Situation Analysis is based on the assessment of knowledge, practice and impact of the pandemic on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in conflict-affected communities of north-east Nigeria. Conducted by the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) unit of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the report covers the period between 14 February and 30 March 2022 and reflects trends from the states Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe,
Taraba and Yobe in north-east Nigeria.

The assessment was conducted in 2,365 locations – a decrease compared to the 2,371 sites assessed in the 9th round of assessment. These sites included 290 camps and camp-like settings and 2,075 locations where IDPs were residing with host communities. As expected, the most-affected state of Borno had the highest number of assessed locations with 688 sites (29%). These included both camps and camp-like settings as well as host communities. Taraba had the least number of locations assessed with 202 sites (9%). As in other similar assessments, staff from IOM, NEMA, SEMAs and the Nigerian Red Cross Society collated the data in the field, including baseline information at Local Government Area and ward-levels.
