- In East Africa’s Burundi, the majority of the displacements were due to climate-related incidents like violent winds, torrential rains and flooding.
- Burundi is globally one of the 20 most climate-vulnerable countries.
- Displacement in Ethiopia is due to localised conflicts and inter-communal violence.
- Displacement in Somalia was associated with conflict/insecurity (52 per cent), drought (31 per cent) and flooding (16 per cent).
- In Sudan, the internal displacement is mainly due to the long-standing conflict in Darfur since 2004.
