Africa’s Enduring Conflicts Deepen Population Displacements

Africa continues to face near record levels of forced displacement due to protracted conflicts that generate recurring cycles of instability and population movements.

The top 10 leading countries of origin for displaced people on the continent have all been in conflict for at least 8 years.

Internal displacement tends to be more informal and less easily recorded.

The DRC has refugees and asylum seekers residing in 31 African countries.
