Several attacks have been reported over the last 10 days at the Malian border (in Tillabery and Tahoua regions), where the situation is deteriorating.

The spillover of the Mali crisis, criminality, and inter-ethnic clashes across the border increase insecurity and target the local population. The number of internally displaced persons in Tillabery and Tahoua regions is estimated to be 42 000. Increased attacks against villages, aiming for cash, livestock, food and other assets, jeopardize the livelihoods of local populations. This situation tends to trigger more forced displacements. Local populations have difficult access to scarce functional public services (health, markets, education). Humanitarian access is limited to humanitarian corridors, while civil-military coordination struggles to provide support for humanitarian aid delivery.
