FLASH REPORT: POPULATION DISPLACEMENT DTM - LGA () Nigeria 09 JUNE 2021

Households: Individuals: Casualties: Movement Trigger: 50 296 5 Communal Clash

OVERVIEW Surging communal violence between ethnic and religious groups, and long-standing conflicts between farming communi�es and nomadic herders are prevalent across north-east Nigeria. These conflicts are predominantly centered on disputes over land and cause great insecurity and widespread displacement across the region.

The clashes between neighbouring Tiv and Fulani communi�es in Bali LGA in Taraba state on 13 May 2021 con�nue to induce displacement towards the neighbouring state and LGAs because they fear more a�acks in the near future. Following these events, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports u�lise direct observa�on and a broad network of key informants to gather representa�ve data and collect informa�on on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected popula�ons.
