La transhumance est une pratique de longue date en Mauritanie où elle a évolué au cours des dernières décennies telles que la raréfaction des ressources impliquant la redéfinition des routes empruntées par les troupeaux. Par conséquent, des conflits peuvent survenir lorsque les agriculteurs et les éleveurs transhumants. Dans le cadre du Suivi des Mouvements de Transhumance, l’OIM met en œuvre un système d’alerte qui a pour objectif de recenser les mouvements inattendus de bétail et les conflits ou catastrophes naturelles liés à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles et aux interactions entre agriculteurs et éleveurs, de comprendre les modes de résolution de conflits existants et d’informer les autorités compétentes, dans l’objectif de réduire les tensions dans les régions d’intervention. Ce tableau de bord présente les informations fournies par le biais de 37 relais communautaires, présents dans sept régions (Trarza, Brakna, Gorgol, Guidimakha, Assaba, Hodh El Chargui et Hodh El Gharbi) pendant le mois d’octobre 2021.

During the reporting period (23 to 28 December 2021), a total of 16 movements were recorded - 6 transits (115 individuals), 2 departures (33 individuals), 4 arrivals (26 individuals), and 4 intended return movements (74 individuals). The largest individual arrival was recorded in Ancuabe (19 individuals). The largest intended return movements were observed in Nanagde (74 individuals). The largest transit was recorded in Nangade (115 individuals). The largest departures were recorded in Balama (24 individuals). Of the total population 9 per cent were displaced for the ­first time, and 91 per cent of reported IDPs had been displaced more than once prior to this latest movement.

Assessments that continued to be undertaken on the 25 - 28 December in Mecula sede by DTM in collaboration with the Mozambican National Institute for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction (INGD) report the latest arrivals of 404 internally displaced persons (IDPs) as a result of the hostilities by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) in Niassa Province. As of the 30th of December, the number of IDPs in Mecula sede has increased to 3,741. Amongst these, the first arrivals were recorded on 4th December and 9th December, followed by several groups arriving each day in trucks in the latest reprting period. The new arrivals are residing in temporary sites (16 de Junho Primary School and Bairro 1 Culutando). All of the IDPs originated from the Naulala and surrounding localities.

The DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is deployed to track and collect information on large and sudden population movements, provide frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the Mobility  Tracking methodology in  Nigeria, ETT utilizes direct observation and a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population per location, enabling targeted humanitarian response planning.

Between 20 and 26 December 2021, a total of 3,875 movements were recorded in the states of Adamawa and Borno. The recorded movements consisted of 3,381 arrivals and 494 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Gwoza, Kala/Balge, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected state of Borno and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa.

Departures were recorded in Askira/Uba, Kala/Balge and Konduga LGAs of Borno, and Fufore, Lamurde, Maiha, Michika, Song and Yola North LGAs of Adamawa.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (1,498 individuals or 39%), conflicts/attacks (944 individuals or 24%), camp closure/government-assisted relocation (877 individuals or 23%), poor living conditions (349 individuals or 9%), improved security (112 individuals or 3%), fear of attacks (59 individuals or 1%) and seasonal farming (36 individuals or 1%).

In response to the need for accurate and up-to-date information on human mobility and forced displacement in north-east Nigeria, IOM activated its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) to support the Government and the humanitarian community with
multi-layered data on the numbers, trends, status, locations and needs of populations affected by the on-going conflict in north-east Nigeria. Round 39 of assessment was conducted from 30 August to 15 October 2021.

This dashboard provides key figures on the numbers, demographic profile, location and accommodation arrangement of returnees. A total of 1,943,445 returnees were recorded in the DTM Round 39 assessment. including 1,786,667 Former IDP Returnees and 156,778 Returnees from abroad. This represents an increase of 25,382 individuals or 1 per cent compared to Round 38. 

La transhumance est une tradition de longue date en Mauritanie où elle a subi des évolutions majeures au cours des dernières décennies, comme la raréfaction des ressources impliquant la redéfinition des routes empruntées par les troupeaux. Par conséquent, des conflits peuvent survenir lorsque les agriculteurs et les transhumants utilisent les mêmes ressources ou quand les champs agricoles sont endommagés par le passage des troupeaux. Dans le cadre du Suivi des Mouvements de Transhumance, l’OIM met en œuvre un système d’alerte, qui a pour objectif de recenser les mouvements inattendus de bétail et conflits ou catastrophes naturelles liés à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles et aux pratiques agro-pastorales dans la région, de comprendre les modes de résolution de conflits existants et d’informer les autorités compétentes, dans l’objectif de réduire les tensions dans les régions d’intervention.
