  1. The dynamics of displacement State-by-State trends and variances in the movements of IDPs in North-Eastern Nigeria

  2. ADAMAWA • 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.

  3. BAUCHI • 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.

  4. BORNO • In addition to insurgent attacks, IDPs also flee from natural disasters (floods, heavy rains) and inter-tribal clashes. • Main 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.

  5. GOMBE • 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.

  6. 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.

  7. YOBE • 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.
