During the reporting period (08 to 14 December 2021), a total of 38 movements were recorded - 16 arrivals (311 individuals),10 transits (311bindividuals), 8 departures (49 individuals), and 4 intended return movements (134 individuals). The largest individual arrivals were recorded in Ancuabe (75 individuals) and Nangade (53 individuals). The largest intended return movements were observed in Montepuez (51 individuals and 32 individuals). The largest transits were recorded in Montepuez (162 individuals and 139 individuals, with both groups leaving diff­erent areas of Montepuez, and transiting through Montepuez sede, in order to travel to Palma). Of the total population (37%) were displaced for the first time, and 63 per cent of reported IDPs had been displaced more than once prior to this latest movement.

El 20 de marzo de 2020, bajo el Titulo 42 del Código de Estados Unidos, el director de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) emitio una orden suspendiendo temporalmente el ingreso a lost Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) de ciertas personas extranjeras. La orden permite el retorno de las personas que cruzaron a los EE.UU. vía sus fronteras terrestres con Canadá o México a un país de tránsito, las cuales por su situación migratoria tendrían que estar en entornos o alojamientos colectivos si fueran admitidas a los EE.UU. de manera regular, independiente de su nacionalidad.

Desde la emisión de la orden, la Patrulla Fronteriza (U.S. Border Patrol) ha realizado más de 845.000 expulsiones bajo el Título 42. A pesar de que en noviembre de 2020 el gobierno estadounidense modificó la orden para que no aplicase a niños, niñas y adolescentes; en la primera mitad del 2021 se realizaron más de 450.000 retornos.

Between 06 and 12 December 2021, a total of 10,978 movements were recorded in the states of Adamawa and Borno. The recorded movements consisted of 10,358 arrivals and 620 departures.

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 30 November 2021.

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 – Zambia (Chirundu)

•Zimbabwe – Botswana (Plumtree)

•Zimbabwe (Beitbridge) – South Africa

•Malawi (Mchinji) – Zambia (Mwami)

•Malawi (Karonga) – Tanzania

•Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) 

During November 2021, a total of 87,422 movements were observed across 43 FMPs in the region. 

The Zimbabwe (Beitbridge) – South Africa corridor hosted the largest number of movements with 59,124 (68%) followed by the Mozambique Malawi corridor with 16,792 (19%) and the Malawi – Zambia corridor with 5,021 movements reported (6%).

Ce rapport présente des informations sur le mouvements de populations enregistre entre le 05 et 11 décembre 2021 dans le département du Logone-Et-Chari  de la région de l’Extrême-Nord, en complément des alertes d’autres acteurs humanitaires (RRM/OCHA). A la suite du conflit intercommunautaire ayant eu lieu dans le département du Logone-Birni depuis le 5 décembre, de nombreux déplacements de populations ont été recensés, dont 650 ménages depuis les localités de Oudoumbra, Ndjamena,  Kalgoulou 1 et 2, Tineri 1 et 2,  Mahana 1 et 2 Mardiya, Guesh arabe, Goh arabe, Blagana arabe, Malloumri, Hilé djadide, Darabi, Ardori, Galam Bladeri (arrondissement du Logone Birni, Logone-et-Chari) vers les localités de Ardébé 1 et 2, Zalzalé, Massangourma, Malia site, Mada 2 et Toukoumaya (arrondissement de Waza, Logone-et-Chari).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movements to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States in North-East Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.

During the period 04 - 10 December 2021, 192 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 151 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon while 41 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon.

Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a multidimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves attacks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). The crisis has accelerated during the past years because of the intensification of attacks and
has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.

Between 06 and 12 December 2021, armed clashes between herdsmen and farmers; and bandits and local communities have led to new waves of population displacement. Following these events, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected populations.

Du 13 au 21 novembre 2021, une série d’incursions attribuées aux miliciens CODECO a été rapportée dans les villages de Largu, Ngazba, Nyali, Kiza, Djisso, Djala, Jissa, Duma, Ngbaluba dans le groupement de Buku, chefferie de Bahema Nord, dans le territoire de Djugu et dans deux sites de déplacement, notamment le site Drodo situé dans le village de Duma, et le site de Tche dans le village de Dhessa, tous deux dans le groupement de Lossandrema, chefferie de Bahema Nord. Ces attaques ont causé d’importants dégâts matériels et humains : plusieurs maisons et abris ont été incendiés et détruits et plusieurs personnes déplacées ont été tuées ou blessées. Ces exactions ont obligé environ 80 000 individus à fuir leur village et site de déplacement pour trouver refuge dans le site de déplacement de Rhoe, en groupement Buku, chefferie de Bahema Nord, dans le territoire de Djugu en province d’Ituri. Les villages et site de déplacement qui ont été attaqués sont aujourd’huividés de leur population.

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round Two), and activated on a need basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on 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 numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks Returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 01 January 2021 to 4 December 2021, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 21,802 households (HH) (130,812 Individuals) have experienced displacement at least once.

Since the beginning of 2021, DTM also identified 3,814 displaced households who left their locations of displacement and either moved back to their place of origin or another location.

Between 28 November and 04 December 2021, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 234 households (1,404 individuals) displaced at least once.The top three districts of the top three governorates that saw the highest number of displacements were:

• Taiz (66 HH) – Mawza (48 HH), Salah (6 HH), As Silw (5 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Al Hodeidah (52 HH) – Hays (39 HH), Al Khukhah (13 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Marib (50 HH) – Marib City (36 HH), Marib (14 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.

Most displacements resulted from the increased conflict in the following governorates and districts.

• Taiz (70 HH) – Maqbanah (57 HH), Sharab Ar Rawnah (3 HH), At Taiziyah (3 HH) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (59 HH) – Hays (21 HH), Al Jarrahi (17 HH), At Tuhayta (13 HH) districts.
• Marib (51 HH) – Al Jubah (23 HH), Harib (7 HH), Sirwah (7 HH) districts.
