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.
However, transhumant livestock farming also contributes to the
development of abandoned and isolated areas by ensuring a human
presence in areas with significant security issues.

West African Studies
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.

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.
