Slide1
The dynamics of displacement
State-by-State trends and variances in the movements of IDPs in North-Eastern Nigeria
Slide2ADAMAWA
IDPs
mainly
from
Adamawa, Borno and
Yobe.
Some present since 2013, but more arrived
early 2014
due to
insurgency attacks
in Borno and
Adamawa
.
Some also from
Zamfara,
where incidences of
cattle rustling
are common.
Some arrived from
Abuja
FCT following
14
April Nyanya
bombing
.
Others from areas with
inter-communal clashes
.
A limited number from
Cameroon
.
Slide3BAUCHI
Only 3,380 of some 88,500 IDPs are displaced from Yobe and Borno as result of the
insurgency
.
The others displaced mostly due to
inter-communal clashes and floods
.
Lately, increased insurgency activity on north-eastern border with Yobe.
The dynamic in IDP movements does not allow keeping of accurate records
by
host communities and LGA officials.
Slide4BORNO
In
addition to
insurgent attacks
, IDPs also flee from
natural disasters
(floods, heavy rains) and
inter-tribal clashes
.
M
ain
reasons for IDP movement:
fear of the
unknown
loss of property and means of
livelihood
hardship encountered in camps due to lack of basic
amenities
forced displacement of IDPs by security agents.
Trend of IDP movement fluctuates but is basically increasing due to
high level of insecurity
in
rural
communities.
Slide5GOMBE
Most
IDPs
from
Yobe, Borno and
Adamawa.
Most displaced by
insurgency and counter-insurgency
.
Also IDPs from
inter-ethnic clashes
across several LGAs of Taraba state.
A few are
returnees
from the Central African
Republic.
A few fled due to
inter-communal clashes
between the Benue state indigenes and Fulani
herdsmen.
Numbers
fluctuate seasonally
as some IDPs went back to their farms at the onset of the rains.
TARABA
IDP influx
ongoing since 2009 at an increasing rate since
2013
.
Also
affected by
crisis in North
Central Nigeria
.
IDPs
coming in from Benue State were
pushed
out due to
farmer/grazer
conflict
.
Another
category of IDPs
results from outbreak
of
communal/ethno/religious
conflict
in Bali and Wukari LGAs.
Other causes of displacement within the
State include
floods
,
fire
and
epidemics
.
Slide7YOBE
IDP influx started
in
2009,
when people moved in from Borno and
Adamawa.
Since
SoE
declared, influx from Bauchi
, Gombe,
Jigawa
, Kano, Nasarawa, Taraba, Kaduna, Plato and
Abuja FCT.
Main
causes for the displacement are
insurgency attacks and lack of security
women more vulnerable
than
men,
as
threats
such as kidnapping and sexual
harassment come directly to
them from the insurgents.
