Continuing Conflicts That Create Refugees - August 2017

Deteriorated Situations: Kenya, South Sudan, Zambia, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Korean Peninsula, Cyprus, Venezuela, Yemen

Outlook for August: Conflict Risk Alerts - Venezuela, Yemen

Resolution Opportunities: None

July saw Venezuela’s political turmoil worsen as the government pressed ahead with an election for an all-powerful constituent assembly, prompting fears of further violence and economic collapse. Political tensions rose in the run-up to polls in Kenya as Al-Shabaab intensified attacks. Grievances in the security forces led to more violence in Côte d’Ivoire and Zambia’s president imposed emergency rule. In Yemen, fighting between Huthi rebels and the Saudi-led coalition escalated, raising the risk of worse bloodshed in August, while in both South Sudan and Mali deadly clashes strained fragile peace processes. Talks between Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders to reunify the divided island collapsed. In East Asia, North Korea’s launch of two inter-continental ballistic missiles added to growing regional and international concern over the threat posed by Pyongyang.
