Chad — Emergency Tracking Tool Report 128 (22 January 2022)

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements as well as security and climactic emergencies. Information is collected through phone interviews with key informants and direct observation. This report presents the results of an assessment conducted in the field on 22 January 2022 in the Djako site, department of Logone Occidental. 

Due the presence of Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) and a series of armed attacks, worsening the security situation in the north of the Central African Republic (CAR), 83 households (487 individuals) of Chadian herders who had been living in CAR for more than 30 years, left the sous-prefecture of Bouar (region of Nana Mambéré) in CAR, on 07 october 2021. These people arrived to Chad from the town of Yamba Ngou (commune of Djohong, department of Mberé) in Cameroon where they took refuge after fleeing CAR. They left Yamba Ngou, arriving at the current site in Djako (department of Logone Occidental, province of Lake Wei) in Chad on 23 October 2021. This returnee population, consisting mainly of women and children, travelled to Djako on foot.
