Continuing Conflicts That Create Refugees - August 2017
Deteriorated Situations: Cameroon - Central African Republic - Burkina Faso - Korean Peninsula - Myanmar - Spain - Venezuela - Guatemala - Yemen
Improved Situations None
Outlook for September, conflict risk alerts none, resolution opportunities, none
August saw Rohingya militants launch deadly attacks on security forces in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, setting the crisis on a more dangerous path. There is still no end in sight to Yemen’s war as deadly airstrikes increased. In the Central African Republic’s north and east, deadly clashes between armed groups worsened and aid workers came under attack. Both Spain and Burkina Faso faced terror attacks, while North Korea’s launch of a missile over northern Japan prompted international condemnation. Venezuela’s political situation grew increasingly grave as the government dissolved the elected parliament. Political tensions rose in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions and in Guatemala, where the president attempted to expel the head of the UN-backed anti-corruption organisation.
