IOM Somalia DTM’s flow monitoring team tracks migrant movements at seven active Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) along the border with Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti and at Bossa FMP on the coast. Enumerators stationed at FMPs register migrant entries and exits to detect different migration patterns, and to provide numerical estimates to help estimate the population of irregular migrants who enter and exit the country. Flow monitoring does not capture all flows into and out of Somalia and should be seen as only indicative of migration trends of the unknown total number of migrants who move in and out of Somalia at FMPs during the indicated time frame.
A total of 22,611 movements were observed in April 2024, representing a 16% decrease compared to March 2024 when 26,793 movements were observed during this period. Comparing April 2024 with March 2024, Doolow (-25%), Lowyacado (-8%), Harirad (-6%), Dhobley (-4%) , Bossaso(-3%) and Cabudwaaq (-2%) FMPs recorded a decrease in movements while Buuhoodle (5%) FMP recorded an increase in movements.
Doolow (57%), Bossaso (28%), and Dhobley (7%) FMPs recorded the highest numbers of incoming movements, while Doolow (31%), Dhobley (27%) and Cabudwaaq (18%) recorded the highest numbers of outgoing movements for April 2024.

- Displacement Solutions
This factsheet on Sinjar District is an extension of the original pilot project in Ninewa Governorate aimed at assessing progress towards durable solutions to displacement for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees in the governorates with the largest shares of displaced populations in Iraq. The goal is to understand where IDPs and returnees in Sinjar District stand five years after the end of the 2014–2017 crisis and in which aspects they are still struggling. In this respect, this project contributes to a broader discussion and Action Agenda around measuring progress towards solutions and determining the end of displacement. The assessment measured progress along five criteria stemmed from the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Framework for Durable Solutions: 1) safety and security; 2) adequate standards of living; 3) access to livelihoods; 4) restoration of housing, land and property (HLP) and compensation and 5) personal documentation and participation.
Data collection for this factsheet took place in November 2022, across 3 sub-districts and 17 locations in the district of Sinjar. The focus of the study was on both IDPs and returnees within the district, including IDPs who are displaced within the district itself. Data were collected through IOM’s Rapid Assessment and Response Teams (RARTs), composed of over 73 staff members (40% of enumerators are female). They collected data through structured face-to-face interviews with a sample size of 310 IDP and 336 returnee households in Sinjar district.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Pakistan collects data on the outflows of Afghans at the Torkham (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Badini, Bahramcha and Chaman (Balochistan) border crossing points (BCPs) to better understand the movements of Afghans returning to Afghanistan. The data presented below is harmonised with those from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), who also cover Ghulam Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).
On 26 September 2023, the Ministry of Interior in Pakistan announced its decision to enact its “Illegal Foreigners’ Repatriation Plan (IFRP)”. Between 16 and 30 June 2024, 15,149 Afghan nationals returned to Afghanistan, including 12,434 through the Torkham BCP, 2,580 through the Chaman BCP, 135 through the Ghulam Khan BCP, while no Afghan nationals returned through the Badini and Bahramcha BCPs. In addition, border authorities deported 342 individuals due to a lack of valid documentation. Since 1 January 2024, IOM identified 156,580 returns at the four BCPs.
