Summary
War and climate disasters have displaced 35 million people within Africa, tripling since 2009, according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
Conflict is the primary cause, with 80% of displaced people from five countries: DRC, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Somalia, and Sudan.
Climate disasters, especially floods, have caused 6.3 million displacements in 2023, a sixfold rise since 2009.
The report urges African governments and international partners to address root causes and assist displaced populations.
