In Niger, increasing insecurity in the Tillabéri region has led to an increase in internal displacement in the region. The number of IDPs tripled in the region in February.
In January, hundreds of sub-Saharan migrants were deported to the Tamanrasset camp in Algeria and transported to Arlit, then Agadez in Niger. Approximately 3,000 people were deported, mostly Nigerien but also from Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali and Guinea.
