Africa is experiencing a worrying intensification of armed conflicts, which have not only multiplied but also expanded, destabilizing entire regions.
From the Sahel to the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes, violence in countries such as Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Somalia, and South Sudan has cross-border effects and exacerbates humanitarian crises, while millions of people are forced to flee within and outside their countries.
“Humanitarian crises continue to be managed, but not addressed. It is essential to strengthen our operational capacity and remedy deficiencies to meet current challenges,” said Patrick Youssef, ICRC regional director for Africa.
