Continuing Conflicts That Create Refugees - January 2021
Deteriorated Situations: Niger, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Sudan, Mozambique, Nepal, Ukraine, Iraq
Conflict Risk Alerts: Central African Republic, Somalia, Uganda
Resolution Opportunities: None
In the Central African Republic, deadly fighting involving armed groups allied with former President François Bozizé broke out ahead of the 27 December general elections. Disputed vote tallies could spark another dangerous cycle of violence. In Uganda, political tensions ran high ahead of the 14 January general elections, and the violent crackdown on the opposition could escalate. Electoral disputes in Somalia delayed the legislative polls and threaten to derail February’s high-stakes presidential election. As we have warned, a disrupted contest could fuel political discord, which Al-Shabaab and the Islamic State might then exploit.
In Iraq, mass protests spread into the Kurdish region amid clashes between Kurdish armed factions. Notably, the Kurdish Peshmerga and members of the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units exchanged fire for the first time. Violence erupted in the disputed border area between Ethiopia and Sudan, with Khartoum reclaiming large swathes of territory. In a major show of force, and after weeks of political tensions, DR Congo’s President Félix Tshisekedi announced the end of the ruling coalition he had formed with his predecessor Joseph Kabila. In Niger, jihadists launched one of their deadliest attacks on civilians in years, killing dozens ahead of the 27 December general elections.
