Somalia — Baidoa Movement Trend Tracking Report (20—26 April 2018)

For the fourth week in a row, the number of people exiting the IDP sites increased, this week reaching 295 - the most recorded in a single week since August 2017. In contrast, the number of new entries dropped this week from 92 last week to 60 this week. The low number of entries into Baidoa can be attributed to the onset of the Gu rainy season in the region, which makes major roads into town relatively impassible. The key drivers for displacements into Baidoa were insecurity and access to food at the village of origin, while those leaving cited management of their farms since the Gu seasonal rains had begun in their villages of origin.
