Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

TRANSHUMANCE AND NOMADISM

Transhumance is a mobile livestock farming method that is based on

regular, seasonal movements. The movements are mostly predictable; each year, herders follow the rhythm of the seasons and pass over the same trails and pasturelands that they already know. On the other hand, nomadism is characterised by the continual and unpredictable movements of all members of a family or a group. Most agro-pastoralists in the Sahel today practice semi-transhumance. Only a part of the family moves according to the seasons, while the rest of the family practices sedentary farming. Agro-pastoral livestock farming is

prevalent throughout West Africa. Animals move within Sahelian countries, from Sahelian countries to coastal countries and within coastal countries. Livestock farming is probably the most integrated economic activity in West Africa. Every year, hundreds of thousands of animals are moved to supply coastal markets. These internal and cross-border movements are o� en sources of conflict between sedentary farmers and transhumant agro-pastoralists.

An Atlas of the Sahara-SahelGeoGrAphy, economicS And Security

While the Sahara-Sahel region has experienced recurrent episodes of instability, the recent crises in Libya and Mali have increased the level of violence. These two crises have reshaped the region’s geopolitical and geographical dynamics. The current crises are cross-border and regional, and addressing them requires new institutional responses. How can the countries that share this space – Algeria, Chad, Libya, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger and Tunisia – in collaboration with other countries of the region, such as Nigeria, work together towards its stabilisation and development?

Historically, the Sahara plays the role of intermediary between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. Even before Roman times, the area was criss-crossed by roads, principally serving a military use in this period. Today, commercial and human exchange is vibrant, founded on social networks. These networks have more recently been used by traffickers. Understanding the nature of this trafficking, the geographic and organisational mobility of criminal groups, as well as migratory movements is of strategic importance. This work aims to contribute towards this objective and to help inform the Sahel strategies of the European Union, United Nations, African Union and ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) in their attempts to forge a lasting peace.

This Atlas proposes a cartographic and regional analysis of security and development issues. It provides objective information for the necessary dialogue between regional and international organisations, states, researchers and local stakeholders.

TRANSHUMANCE ET NOMADISME

La transhumance est un mode d’élevage mobile fondé sur des

déplacements réguliers et saisonniers. Les déplacements sont le plus souventprévisibles ; les bergers empruntent les mêmes pistes chaque année à la même saison vers des pâturages connus. Le nomadisme décrit en revanche un déplacement continuel et non prévisible de tous les membres d’une famille ou d’un groupe. La plupart des agropasteurs au Sahel pratiquent aujourd’hui la semi-transhumance. Seule une partie de la famille se déplace de façon saisonnière cependant que l’autre partie pratique l’agriculture sédentaire. L’élevage agropastoral domine dans toute l’Afrique de l’Ouest.

La mobilité des animaux s’opère à la fois à l’intérieur des pays sahéliens, des pays sahéliens vers les pays côtiers et au sein des pays côtiers. C’est probablement l’activité économique la plus intégrée en Afrique de l’Ouest. Des centaines de milliers d’animaux se déplacent chaque année pour approvisionner les marchés des zones côtières. Ces déplacements intérieurs et transfrontaliers sont souvent source de conflits entre agriculteurs sédentaires et agropasteurs transhumants Cependant, l’élevage transhumant participe également à la mise en valeur de vastes espaces isolés assurant une présence humaine dans des zones de confins à forts enjeux sécuritaires.

Un atlas du Sahara-SahelGéOGrAphie, éCOnOmie et inSéCUrité

Le Sahara-Sahel traverse des épisodes récurrents d’instabilité, cependant les crises libyenne et malienne récentes intensifient le degré de violence. Elles restructurent les dynamiques géopolitiques et géographiques. Transfrontalières, voire régionales, ces crises contemporaines nécessitent de nouvelles réponses institutionnelles. Comment les pays partageant cet espace – Algérie, Libye, Mali, Maroc, Mauritanie, Niger, Tchad et Tunisie – peuvent-ils, ensemble et en relation avec des États tels que le Nigéria, le stabiliser et le développer ?

Depuis toujours, le Sahara joue un rôle d’intermédiaire entre l’Afrique du Nord et l’Afrique subsaharienne. Avant l’époque romaine, des routes le traversaient déjà, à l’origine militaires. Les échanges commerciaux et humains sont intenses et fondés sur des réseaux sociaux auxquels se greffent désormais les trafics. La compréhension de leur structuration, de la mobilité géographique et organisationnelle des groupes criminels et des circulations migratoires, représente un défi stratégique. Cet ouvrage espère relever ce défi et nourrir les stratégies pour le Sahel de l’Union européenne, des Nations Unies, de l’Union africaine ou encore de la CEDEAO (Communauté économique des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest) en vue d’une paix durable.

Cet atlas s’appuie sur une analyse cartographiée et régionale des enjeux de sécurité et de développement pour ouvrir des pistes objectives au nécessaire dialogue entre organisations régionales et internationales, États, chercheurs et acteurs locaux.
