Dans la région orientale de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC), en particulier au Nord-Kivu, un conflit prolongé et de plus en plus complexe persiste. Ce conflit est caractérisé par la présence de divers groupes armés, y compris le groupe M23 et les Forces Armées Congolaises (FARDC), ainsi que leurs alliés respectifs. Depuis le début de cette année, le M23 a progressé dans la partie orientale de la RDC, notamment vers Goma, qui sert de capitale du Nord-Kivu. Les récentes actions entreprises par le M23 suggèrent leur intention de prendre le contrôle de Goma, marquant potentiellement leur deuxième occupation de la ville après une brève période de contrôle en 2012.

Depuis le début de la crise, l'OIM, par le biais de la matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM) continue à mener une série d'évaluations rapides, y compris le suivi des urgences (EET/ERM), l'analyse des crises et enregistrement avec priorité de répondre aux besoins immédiats d'information en vue de comprendre la dynamique des déplacements et les besoins. Ce rapport présente les résultats des évaluations menées dans les différentes zones de déplacement et de retour du 29 mars au 26 avril 2024

In the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in North Kivu province, a prolonged and increasingly complex conflict persists, characterized by the presence of numerous armed groups, including the M23 group and the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) and their respective allies. Since the beginning of this year, the M23 has been advancing in the eastern part of the DRC, particularly towards Goma, which serves as the capital of North Kivu. Recent actions by the M23 suggest their intention to take control of Goma, potentially marking their second occupation of the city after a brief period of control in 2012.

Since the onset of the crisis, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) continues to conduct a series of rapid assessments, including Emergency Tracking (EET/ERM), Crisis Analysis and
Registration activities, addressing immediate information needs with a view to understanding displacement dynamics and needs. This report presents the results of assessments carried out in the various displacement and return areas from 29 March to 26 April 2024

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on estimated numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis from their locations of origin or displacement, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of estimated numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 1 January to 4 May 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,159 households (HH) (6,954 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 28 April and 4 May 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 32 households (192 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (25 HHs) – Ma’rib (13 HHs), Ma’rib City (10 HHs), Harib (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Ma’rib.
• Ta’iz (6 HHs) – Jabal Habashi (5 HHs), Salah (1 HH) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ad Dali (1 HH) – Ad Dali (1 HH) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.

The majority of people moved from the following governorates and districts:

• Ta’iz (11 HH) – Al Maafer (5 HHs), Al Misrakh (4 HHs), Salah (1 HH) districts.
• Ma’rib (5 HH) – Harib (2 HHs), Jabal Murad (2 HHs), Rahabah (1 HH) districts.
• Dhamar (3 HH) – Otmah (2 HHs), Dawran Anis (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 56 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 21 - 27 April 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (29 HHs), Ta’iz (16 HHs), Ma’rib (9 HHs), and Ad Dali (2 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

These findings were collected following an armed attack on the 2nd of May, 2024, in the municipality of Delmas, specifically in the neighborhood of Cité Numéro 2. As a consequence of this incident, individuals residing in five sites within the neighborhoods of Cité Numéro 2, Carrefour Pean, and 2eme cité Saint Martin were compelled to evacuate these premises entirely. The total number of displaced persons amounted to 3,720, encompassing both residents from the aforementioned five sites and those from the Cité Numéro 2 neighborhood. These internally displaced persons (IDPs) relocated to the communes of Port-au-Prince and Delmas. Of the IDPs, 60% sought refuge with host families, while the remaining 40% settled in nine sites, consisting of three newly established sites, five pre-existing sites, and one site that serves as an extension of an existing one.

Between 22 and 28 April 2024, a total of 1,252 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Damboa, Gubio, Gwoza, Hawul, Kaga, Kala Balge, Konduga, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, and in Fufore, Gombi, Guyuk, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Mayo-Belwa, Michika, Mubi North, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.
ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: poor living conditions (309 individuals or 25%), improved security (250 individuals or 20%), seasonal farming (242 individuals or 19%), family re-unification (160 individuals or 13%), fear of attack (154 individuals or 12%), military operations (100 individuals or 8%) and attack (37 individuals or 3%).

There were reports of 51 injuries and 19 fatalities. The attacks displaced 3,220 individuals in 626 households. Among the 3,220 individuals affected, 675 individuals were displaced from Shalla Village in Turba ward to Kubliya Islamiya School in Isa North ward, 748 individuals were displaced from Katanga, Dan Adama and Baichi in Tozai ward to Sarkin Gobir Primary School in Isa North ward, 925 individuals were displaced from Kunkurus and Satiru in Tozai ward to Women Centre in Isa North ward, 346 individuals were displaced from Gidan Saleh in Isa South ward of Isa LGA of Sokoto State to Gidan Gona IDP camp in Shinkafi South ward of Shinkafi LGA of Zamfara State and 526 individuals were displaced from Kayaye Tungan Kado in Badarawa ward of Shinkafi LGA to Gidan Gona IDP camp in Shinkafi South ward.

Between 17 April to 1st May 2024, sporadic attacks and fear of attacks by Non-state Armed Groups in Ancuabe, Chiúre and Erati triggered the cumulative displacement of 52,300 individuals/12,575 families. The current Movement Alert #109 reports on most recent attacks in southern Cabo Delgado.
