As a subcomponent of the Mobility Tracking methodology (Round Five), the Emergency Event Tracking (EET) tool is deployed to track sudden displacement, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed.
DTM teams activated EET to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by inter-communal violence in Kereneik locality, West Darfur. Clashes erupted on 4 December over a property dispute at a local market involving Arab nomads and Masalit tribe. On 22 April 2022, inter-communal clashes resumed between Arab Nomads and the Masalit tribe following the discovery of two deceased nomads on 21 April 2022 near Hashaba village - approximately 1km West of Kereneik Town in Kereneik locality, West Darfur. For more information, please see EET Kereneik (Kereneik town), West Darfur (Update 010).
The eleventh EET update estimates a total number of 26,066 individuals (5,040 households) currently seeking shelter in Kereneik Town (65%), Um Tajok (24%), Morayat (3%), in Kereneik locality, and Ag Geneina Town (8%) in Ag Geneina locality, West Darfur. Field teams report that, following an improvement of the security situation in and around Kereneik Town, the reduction in the IDP caseload since the previous update can be largely explained by a portion of the caseload returning to their locations of origin. The IDP caseload was originally displaced from Abuja IDP camp (59%), Um Dowain (6%), Hameeda (5%), Shootak (4%), Kamkama (4%), Zawya (3%), Garaa (3%), Kabara (2%), Um Dukhun Al Sad (2%), Temaid (2%), Azerni (2%), Tangaki (1%), Haraza Teman (1%), Hehmiad (1%), Hashaba Andro (1%), among other locations (4%) in Kereneik locality, West Darfur.
Data on losses and casualties can be found across the previous updates. All displaced individuals are Sudanese nationals. At least 3,540 cases of additional vulnerabilities in need of assistance and support were identified by key informants through DTM’s Protection indicator. Additionally, DTM Sudan estimates that there are approximately 3,910 persons with disabilities among the IDP caseload.* Based on a ranking scale, the three priority needs across the caseload are Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Food, and Non-Food Items
