Since 2009, the conflict in north-eastern Nigeria has devastated agricultural livelihoods in various ways, including livestock losses; reduced access to fishing grounds; destruction of irrigation and farming facilities; and the collapse of extension services and key agriculture-based value chains. Losses have been caused by levies imposed by Boko Haram on transported production,

Fighting against insurgents has been ongoing until summer 2016. The road and the border are now open and UNHAS helicopters are currently serving Ngala since December 2016. LGA level: On June, a clearance operation has been conducted by 3rd Battalion from Ngala towards North of the LGA, along the Cameroonian border to push away insurgents groups present in this zone of Ngala LGA. This LGA is part of the Area of Operations of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). This group remains active in the North of Ngala – due to the presence of bases in Lake Chad area – and in Kala Balge LGA where it has a freedom of movement in the southern part of the LGA. ISWAP groups are very mobile and base their actions on guerrilla warfare (ambushes, IED’s, hit- and-run tactic). Skirmishes with NAF can occur during the patrols. The actual NAF deployment is centered on: The control of the road Dikwa – Ngala to keep it open for commercial convoys, The control of the LGA’s Headquarters, The capability to conduct combat patrols from bases in order to conduct a zone control deeply inside the LGA’s.

  • FEWS NET Special Report: a Famine Likely Occurred in Bama LGA and May Be Ongoing in Inaccessible Areas of Borno State
    December 13, 2016 A Famine likely occurred in Bama LGA and may be ongoing in inaccessible areas of Borno State This report summarizes an IPC-compatible analysis of Local Government Areas (LGAs) and select IDP concentrations in Borno State, Nigeria. The conclusions of this report have been endorsed by the IPC’s Emergency Review Committee. This analysis follows a July 2016 multi-agency alert, which warned of Famine, and builds off of the October 2016 Cadre Harmonisé analysis, which concluded that additional, more detailed analysis of Borno was needed given the elevated risk of Famine. KEY MESSAGES A Famine likely occurred in Bama and Banki towns during 2016, and in surrounding rural areas where conditions are likely to have been similar, or worse. Although this conclusion cannot be fully verified, a preponderance of the available evidence, including a representative mortality survey, suggests that Famine (IPC Phase 5) occurred in Bama LGA during 2016, when the vast majority of the LGA’s remaining population was concentrated in Bama Town and Banki Town. Analysis indicates that at least 2,000 Famine-related deaths may have occurred in Bama LGA between January and September, many of them young children. Famine may have also occurred in other parts of Borno State that were inaccessible during 2016, but not enough data is available to make this determination. While assistance has improved conditions in accessible areas of Borno State, a Famine may be ongoing in inaccessible areas where conditions could be similar to those observed in Bama LGA earlier this year. Significant assistance in Bama Town (since July) and in Banki Town (since August/September) has contributed to a reduction in mortality and the prevalence of acute malnutrition, though these improvements are tenuous and depend on the continued delivery of assistance.

  • Borno State - Monguno LGA Humanitarian Situation Overview (October – November) 10 January 2020
    Borno State - Monguno LGA Humanitarian Situation Overview (October – November) 10 January 2020 This report is produced by OCHA Nigeria in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from October to December 2019. The next report will be issued at the end of January and will maintain a monthly cycle. Overview Humanitarian partners continue to scale up operations across all sectors to provide life-saving assistance to over 158, 000 displaced people despite several challenges. A biometric verification exercise of IDPs previously registered was completed confirming only a few new arrivals. The verification will enable partners to target assistance consistently across the camps. The suspension of ACF/AAH operations in September affected 14,000HHs who went without food rations for almost two months, resorting to harmful coping mechanisms such as children hawking or begging and stealing. Protection concerns such as transactional sex also heightened in the community. Following the end of the rainy season, nine fire incidents were reported. About 500 people across nine of the 12 IDP camps were affected between 24 October and 27 November 2019. State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and CCCM/Shelter/NFIs sector partners are assisting the fire victims. Cases of Acute Water Diarrhea (AWD) and measles were reported in October and November. Three AWD fatalities were reported while 30 cases tested positive to Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT), suggesting cholera. The humanitarian community has made adequate contingency plans in case of a cholera outbreak. In October, 53 cases of measles were reported. According to the health sector partners, population movement is responsible for the trend.

Yobe (BAY) States. January 2021. A UNHCR protection partner colleague conducts a rapid protection assessment with internally displaced people in Bama, Borno State. © UNHCR/Daniel Bisu www.unhcr.or g 1 NORTH-EAST NIGERIA OPERATIONAL UPDATE JANUARY 2021 Operational Highlights ■ The security situation in the North-East remains unpredictable. The operational area continues to be impacted by the ongoing violent conflict, terrorism, and criminal activities, which have resulted in the displacement, killing and abduction of civilians as well as the destruction of properties and critical infrastructure. The second wave of COVID-19 also continues to exacerbate the already worsening situation. A total of 43 security incidents perpetrated by NSAG in the BAY States comprised of attacks on civilians, improvised explosive devices, and attacks on security forces. ■ In Borno State, members of the non-State armed groups (NSAGs) continued their attacks on both civilian and military targets, attempted to overrun of villages and towns and mounted illegal vehicle checkpoints for the purpose of abduction, looting and robbery. The main supply routes Maiduguri- Gubio, Maiduguri-Mafa and Mungono-Ngala in the Northern axis were most severely hit.
