Continuing Conflicts That Create Refugees -
February 2020
Deteriorated Situations: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger,
Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of
Congo, Kenya, Somalia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria,
Venezuela, Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Saudi
Arabia, Yemen.
Conflict Risk Alerts: Central African Republic,
Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen.
In January, the security situation in the Sahel
deteriorated, especially in central Mali, western Niger
and northern Burkina Faso, where suspected jihadists
inflicted a heavy toll on civilians. In Nigeria, Boko
Haram stepped up attacks and jihadist group Ansaru claimed
its first attack since 2013.
Al-Shabaab intensified deadly raids in Kenya, and violence
rose in Cameroon’s Anglophone areas and eastern DR Congo.
Political tensions increased in Somalia’s Galmudug state
and Guinea-Bissau, and security forces hardened a
crackdown in neighbouring Guinea.
February could see fighting erupt in Somalia’s Gedo
region, escalate in the Central African Republic, and
resurge in South Sudan where leaders face a new deadline
to form a unity government.
The U.S.’s killing of Soleimani caused U.S.-Iran tensions
to soar, and Iraq felt the brunt of the fallout. Fighting
intensified in northern Yemen and across the Yemen-Saudi
Arabia border raising the risk that violence spread.
Fighting looks set to escalate in north west Syria as
Turkish forces strike back against government troops. The
U.S.’s release of its peace plan for Israel-Palestine
triggered an angry backlash and in Lebanon clashes between
protesters and security forces intensified.
Venezuela’s political crisis deepened, but on the up side,
the security situation in El Salvador improved, a key
insurgent group in Thailand joined formal peace talks,
Kosovo’s three-month political deadlock ended, and
February could see a deal between Ethiopia, Egypt and
Sudan to resolve their dispute over the Nile waters.
