DTM teams activated EET to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by inter-communal conflict between Masalit and Arab tribes. Clashes initially erupted on 16 January 2021 in the Krinding area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur. On 3 April 2021, inter-communal conflict has escalated in the Hai Eljabal area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur, resulting in additional displacement. For more information, please see EET_Ag Geneina, West Darfur_017.
The eighteenth update estimates a total number of 107,479 individuals (21,502 households) seeking shelter in Ag Geneina and its surrounding villages. The IDP caseload was displaced from Krinding 1 and 2 IDP camps (38%), Hai Eljabal area (23%), Sultan House area (11%) and other sites nearby (28%). Between 27 May and 12 June 2021, IOM participated in a joint rapid verification exercise with the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC), WFP, WR, WCC, IAS and UNHCR to verify displaced caseloads across 48 of the displacement sites in Ag Geneina town, as reflected in this update. The findings of the inter-agency verification mission indicate a decrease of 28 per cent in displacement figures since the seventeenth EET update.
