  • Living Through Nigeria's Six-Year
    “When We Can’t See the Enemy, Civilians Become the Enemy” Living Through Nigeria’s Six-Year Insurgency About the Report This report explores the experiences of civilians and armed actors living through the conflict in northeastern Nigeria. The ultimate goal is to better understand the gaps in protection from all sides, how civilians perceive security actors, and what communities expect from those who are supposed to protect them from harm. With this understanding, we analyze the structural impediments to protecting civilians, and propose practical—and locally informed—solutions to improve civilian protection and response to the harm caused by all armed actors in this conflict. About Center for Civilians in Conflict Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) works to improve protection for civil- ians caught in conflicts around the world. We call on and advise international organizations, governments, militaries, and armed non-state actors to adopt and implement policies to prevent civilian harm. When civilians are harmed we advocate the provision of amends and post-harm assistance. We bring the voices of civilians themselves to those making decisions affecting their lives. The organization was founded as Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a courageous humanitarian killed by a suicide bomber in 2005 while advocating for Iraqi families.

Like other Africans, Nigerian migrants live in countless locations around the world and are connected to their homeland through contingent transnational networks. This thesis explores the onward migration of Nigerian migrants towards, within and beyond Europe and analyses the motivations, patterns and outcomes of their multiple movements. Six cities in Germany, the UK and Spain are the main research locations for the fieldwork that took place over 17 months. The three countries are important destinations for Nigerian migrants in Europe and also the principal destinations of intra-European onward migrants. The cities included in this study are the capital cities Berlin, London and Madrid, as well as Cologne, Manchester and Málaga.

  • Internal Conflicts and Forced Migration in Nigeria: a Historical Perspective
    Journal of Identity and Migration Studies Volume 11, number 1, 2017 THEMATIC ARTICLES: FACETS OF MIGRATION IN AFRICA Internal Conflicts and Forced Migration in Nigeria: A Historical Perspective Samson Adesola ADESOTE Abstract. In historical perspective, internal conflicts in Nigeria spanned through three distinct epochs: pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial. The resultant effect of each historical epoch of internal conflicts was forced migration. The major thrust of this paper is the historical analysis of the post-colonial internal conflicts, with major emphasis on the Fourth Republic, and forced migration. It argues that since 1960, the eruption of varying types of violent internal conflicts have exacted a heavy toll on the country’s society, polity and economies, hindering her developmental potentials and democratic possibilities. Since the birth of the Fourth Republic in 1999, the Nigerian nation has continued to experience an upsurge of violent conflicts, which have taken terror dimensions, resulting in the killing of many people, large-scale internal population displacement, refugee production, wanton destruction of property, capital flight and so on. For instance, in November 2007, Nigeria was included among the seventeen countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, which were described as the world’s most fragile states. The paper, therefore, submits that in order to save the fragility of Nigerian state from collapsing, the adoption of a holistic and pragmatic approach in addressing the growing challenge of internal conflicts in the 21st century is fundamental. It concludes that it will be practically impossible to achieve any meaningful development in a war-torn society. Keywords: forced migration, internal conflicts, Nigeria Introduction Nigeria, a country with diverse culture, ethnic groups and religion could be best described as a pluralistic society.

  • 1 Submission by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
    Submission by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees For the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights’ Compilation Report Universal Periodic Review: 3rd Cycle, 38th Session NIGER I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Niger acceded to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees in 1961, following its independence, and ratified the 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees in 1970 (hereinafter jointly referred to as the 1951 Convention). Moreover, Niger ratified the 1969 OAU Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa (the OAU Convention) in 1971. Niger also acceded to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons (the 1954 Convention) in November 2014 and to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness (the 1961 Convention) in 1985, with reservations in respect of Articles 11, 14 and 15. In addition, Niger ratified the 2009 African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (the Kampala Convention) in 2012, and was the first country in Africa to adopt a national law on internal displacement1 (Loi n° 2018-74 du 10 décembre 2018 relative à la protection et à l'assistance aux personnes déplacées internes2). The key legislative act regulating asylum in Niger is the Loi n° 97-016 du 20 juin 1997 relative au statut des réfugiés and its Décret d'application n° 98-382/PRN/MI/AT du 24 Décembre 1998. UNHCR opened a country representation in Niger in 2012 following the outbreak of the Mali crisis and signed an “Accord de Siège” in 2014. UNHCR is present in the main refugee hosting regions: Niamey, Tahoua, Tillaberi (including Ouallam, Abala and Ayorou), Diffa, Agadez and Maradi.

  • The 1969 Ghana Exodus: Memory and Reminiscences of Yoruba
    The 1969 Ghana Exodus: Memory and Reminiscences of Yoruba Migrants1 Rasheed Olaniyi Department of History, University of Ibadan Email: [email protected] Abstract Using the 1969 Ghana deportation of illegal aliens as a case study, this working paper explains how xenophobia became one dominant aspect of protonationalism repelling aliens in the process of nation-building and the rapidly changing social-economic contexts. The paper further examines the trauma of deportation experienced by Yoruba migrants, some of who were jailed; molested and robbed of life investments. Those who could not re-integrate into their hometowns made return migration to Ghana and onward migration to a third destination in major cities of West Africa to sustain their livelihood and entrepreneurship. Deportation of Yoruba from Ghana occurred at the height of the Nigerian civil war (1967-70) and political turbulence in other West African countries, which further raises questions about citizenship, power relations and state stability in the postcolony. This working paper illuminates the multiple challenges of deportation including reintegration process, access to resources, standard of living, children’s education, coping with family separation and stereotypes. In approaching this research, my sources include alternative archives, in-depth oral interviews, life and family histories with different generations of Yoruba returnees and deportees from Ghana who were selected randomly. I interviewed early migrants to Ghana whose career began in the 1920s until deportation in 1969. This category witnessed the accomplished and unfulfilling dimensions of a diasporan experience. The second category were the younger generation who were either born or brought up in Ghana before the Alien Quit Order.

  • Nigeria 2020 Human Rights Report
    NIGERIA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nigeria is a federal republic composed of 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. In February 2019 citizens re-elected President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress party to a second four-year term. Most independent observers agreed the election outcome was credible despite logistical challenges, localized violence, and some irregularities. The Nigeria Police Force is the primary law enforcement agency, along with other federal organizations. The Department of State Services is responsible for internal security and reports to the president through the national security adviser. The Nigerian Armed Forces are responsible for external security but also have domestic security responsibilities. Consistent with the constitution, the government continued to turn to the armed forces to address internal security concerns, due to insufficient capacity and staffing of domestic law enforcement agencies. There were reports that members of the security forces committed human rights abuses. Civilian authorities did not always maintain effective control over the security services. The insurgency in the Northeast by the militant terrorist groups Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West Africa continued. The groups conducted numerous attacks on government and civilian targets, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries, widespread destruction, the internal displacement of more than two million persons, and the external displacement of somewhat more than an estimated 300,000 Nigerian
