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. On 27 July 2021, there was a communal clash between farmers and herdsmen in Jen community of Jen ardido ward in Karim-Lamido LGA of Taraba State which has induced a large-scale displacement towards the neighbouring communi�es in same LGA. Following this event, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displace- ment Tracking Matrix) field staff to inform the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response.
