Somalia — Baidoa Movement Trend Tracking Report (27 April —3 May 2018)

Due to inter-clan clashes that erupted in the outskirts of Baidoa, mainly triggered by conflicts between clans for grazing land, a total of 56 indivudals fled for safety into the Biadoa IDP sites. All stated that their reason for entry was insecurity. Despite these conflict-related displacements, this marks the fourth straight week that the number of new arrivals into Biadoa is below 100. This is mainly attributed to the onset of the Gu rainy season in the region and greater Somalia, which makes major roads into the town impassable. The exits recorded this week were 309 individuals, marking the sixth week in a row that the number of exits have increased. This is because the on-going rains prompted high numbers of IDPs to exit the IDP sites to return to their farms to cultivate.
