Attachments

Mali is hosting more than 100,000 Burkinabe and Nigeriens refugees. There has been a massive influx of refugees and asylum seekers from Burkina Faso (mainly from the Sahel region) and Niger. They are fleeing because of fear, insecurity and the effects of attacks and incursions by radical non-state armed groups, as well as military operations on the positions of armed groups. The majority of them have been registered during the registration activities jontly organized by the government and UNHCR in various areas where accessibility was granted. Among this population, there are 63,000 individuals remaining unregistered (54,845 burkinabe and 8,785 Nigeriens).
