Since 17 February 2022, armed groups affiliated with the Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) have surrounded Djibo town in Soum province, located at the border with Mali.
Key considerations: - The groups have been controlling the access routes to the city, preventing the entry and exit of people and goods.
- More than eight months after the armed groups surrounded the town, thousands of people have become food-insecure.
- Access to water has become particularly difficult since armed groups have sabotaged many facilities.
- Humanitarian flights connecting Djibo to Ouagadougou are irregular and often suspended for weeks because of insecurity.
- Armed groups suspecting them of collaborating with the authorities have physically attacked some humanitarian workers.
