Over the reporting period, a total of 822 cross-border movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) between Malawi and the United Republic of Tanzania. The average daily number flows was 46. This represented a 38 per cent decrease compared to July, during which 74 individual movements were observed on a daily basis. Malawi (55%), United Republic of Tanzania (45%) and Burundi (<1%) were the main countries of departure, while Malawi (58%) and United Republic of Tanzania (42%) were the main countries of intended destination of individuals passing through the different FMPs. Out of 822 individuals observed, 68 per cent were males and 32 per cent were females. There were six (6) women who were visibly pregnant. Boys and girls (males and females below 18) made up 14 per cent of individuals observed. Of the 119 children observed, 17 were unaccompanied boys and 5 were unaccompanied girls. However, this information is based on direct observation and self-reporting, and therefore is likely under-reported.

Over the reporting period, a total of 2,100 cross-border movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) between Malawi and Mozambique. The average daily number of flows was 124. This represented a five (5%) per cent decrease compared to July, during which 131 individual movements were observed on a daily basis. Mozambique (57%), Malawi (42%), United Republic of Tanzania (1%) and Somalia (<1%) were the main countries of departure, while Malawi (56%), Mozambique (44%) and Zambia (<1%) were the main countries of intended destination of individuals passing through the different FMPs. Out of the 2,100 individuals observed, 61 per cent were males and 39 per cent were females. There were 57 women who were visibly pregnant. Boys and girls (males and females below 18) made up 14 per cent of individuals observed. Of the 287 children observed, 22 were unaccompanied boys and 21 were unaccompanied girls. However, this information is based on direct observation and self-reporting, and therefore is likely under-reported.

This report reflects data corresponding to Sudan Mobility Update (9) dataset. The dataset is available here. 

Overview:  
This report provides an overview of the total population of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan, including those displaced both before and after the onset of the conflict on 15 April 2023.    
 
Key Findings:  

• An estimated total of 10,916,305 IDPs were displaced to 9,269 locations, in 183 localities, across all 18 states in Sudan.  
• An estimated 8,166,421 individuals were displaced internally within Sudan since 15 April 2023. 
• An estimated 28 per cent of IDPs who were initially displaced prior to the onset of the current conflict experienced secondary displacement since 15 April 2023.   
• Approximately 3,119,885 individuals crossed borders into neighbouring countries since 15 April 2023.   
• The top states of origin were Khartoum (33%), South Darfur (19%), and North Darfur (14%).   
• The highest proportion of IDPs were hosted in South Darfur (17%), North Darfur (14%), and Gedaref (9%) states. 
• Over half (52%) of IDPs were reportedly children under the age of 18-years-old.   

Annex 1 includes an operational matrix with a table of estimated IDPs per state, disaggregated by displacement before versus after 15 April 2023.   

Note: The number of IDPs displaced post 15 April 2023 (8,166,421 IDPs) includes the estimated 1,070,888 IDPs who were initially displaced prior to 15 April 2023 and experienced secondary displacement since 15 April 2023. DTM Sudan defines an internally displaced person as any person who has been forced or obliged to flee from their habitual residence due to an event dating from 2003 onwards. 

MКM Кыргызстанда калктын мобилдүүлүгүн көзөмөлдөө, мигранттардын болжолдуу саны боюнча маалымат берүү, эмгек мигранттарынын жана кайтып келген мигранттардын географиялык бөлүштүрүлүшү, миграциянын себептери, Кыргызстанга мигранттардын кайсыл өлкөлөрдөн кайтып келгени жана миграция мезгилдери жөнүндө маалымат берүү максатында Мобилдүүлүк Боюнча Баштапкы Баалоону (BMA) ишке ашырат. Маалыматтар айылдык деңгээлде негизги маалымат берүүчүлөрдөн жана түздөн-түз байкоолордон чогултулат.                          

Мобилдүүлүк Боюнча Баштапкы Баалоо (BMA) Кыргыз Республикасынын бардык жети облусунда (Баткен, Чүй, Ысык- Көл, Жалал-Абад, Нарын, Ош жана Талас), анын ичинде бул облустардагы бардык 40 райондорунда (аймактарда), ошондой эле Кыргызстандын эки ири шаарында (Бишкек борбор шаары жана Ош шаары) жүргүзүлдү. Бул баалоо 1 159 негизги маалымат берүүчүлөр менен маектешүү аркылуу 999 жамаатты камтыды. Маалымат берүүчүлөрдүн негизги эсептөөлөрүнүн негизинде, 2020-жылдан 2024-жылдын апрелине чейин Кыргызстандагы бааланган коомчулуктарында 34 966 эл аралык эмгек мигранттары жайгашкандыгы билинди. Ошол эле учурда бааланган жамааттарда 44 391 ички мигрант жайгашкан жана 227 629 кыргызстандык жаран чет өлкөдө эмигрант катары жашап жатканы кабарланууда. Мындан тышкары, чет өлкөдөн 128 661 мигрант кайтып келген. Мобилдүүлүк Боюнча Баштапкы Баалоонун 3-үчүнчү айлампасы Кыргыз Республикасынын Эмгек, социалдык камсыздоо жана миграция министрлиги (ЭСКММ) менен тыгыз кызматташтыкта өткөрүлөт.

В целях отслеживания мобильности населения, предоставления информации об оценочной численности мигрантов, географическом распределении трудящихся мигрантов и вернувшихся мигрантов, причинах миграции и о странах, из которых мигранты возвращаются в Кыргызстан, с помощью матрицы МТМ была внедрена Базовая оценка мобильности (BMA). Данные собираются на уровне сел от ключевых информаторов и путем прямых наблюдений.

Базовая оценка мобильности (BMA) проводилась во всех семи областях (Баткенской, Чуйской, Иссык-Кульской, Джалал-Абадской, Нарынской, Ошской и Таласской) Кыргызской Республики, включая все 40 районов этих областей и в двух самых крупных городах – в столице, г. Бишкек и в г. Ош. Оценка охватила 999 сообществ; 1 159 ключевых информаторов было опрошено. По оценкам ключевых информаторов, в период с 2020 года по апрель 2024 года в оцениваемых населенных пунктах Кыргызстана было размещено 34 966 международных трудящихся-мигрантов. Одновременно с этим 44 391 внутренних мигрантов проживало в этих населенных пунктах, а 227 629 граждан Кыргызстана, по имеющимся данным, проживают за рубежом в качестве эмигрантов. Кроме того, 128 661 мигрантов вернулось из-за границы. Третий раунд BMA проводится в тесном сотрудничестве с Министерством труда, социального обеспечения и миграции (МТСОМ) Кыргызской Республики.

• Movements tracked in Obock towards the Arabian Peninsula decreased by 30% between July (7,392) and August (5,192), mainly due to changes in migratory routes as a result of reinforced authority presence. Migrants have been passing through Tadjourah to Guehéré, crossing the north of Obock town without passing through Fanteherou.

• August witnessed a significant rise in the number of stranded girls (101) in Djibouti, with a 51% increase compared to July (67). As a result, children now represent 23% of the 963 stranded migrants in Djibouti.

• Although migration along the Eastern Route is largely economic, exits from Ethiopia due to conflict, violence or persecution increased by 25% between July (737) and August (922), being the highest figure reported since April 2023 (1,373).

• The number of tracked children leaving Ethiopia increased by 40% between July (858) and August (1,205), with the number of girls increasing by 50% (from 256 to 385).

• There have been reports of migrants escaping smuggler-operated camps on the outskirts of Burao in theTogdheer region of Somalia, where they are detained until ransoms are paid. According to the Ethiopian Community Centre in Burao, six migrants were released after paying 20,000 birr each (about USD 177) to the smugglers.

• In August, 143 migrants were deported from Oman to Yemen through Deifen. This brought the total number of deportations from Oman to Yemen in 2024 to 1,369, surpassing the total of 1,336 deportations in 2023.

Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.
