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

Flash reports u�lize 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. The a�acks, which lasted for 7 days and affected 9 villages, has led to the displacement of an es�mated 15,000 individuals. A total of 38 casual�es were recorded and 1,250 shelters were burnt down.
