African countries top list of world’s most neglected displacement crises

Every year, the number of people who’ve been driven from their homes by violence, drought, or disease seems to increase, and new figures show that number has doubled in the last decade. That’s one of the conclusions of a report from the Norwegian Refugee Council. It analyzes yearly the most neglected displacement crises in the world. In 2024, eight of the ten worst-hit countries were in Africa, and topping that grim list is Cameroon. Ethiopia’s troubles are well-known. Ranked third-worst is Mozambique, which appears on the list for the first time. After that, come Burkina Faso, Mali and Uganda, DR Congo is 8th and Somalia 10th.
One of the factors making life unbearable for displaced people is that nobody seems to care. Take Mozambique. It is caught in a relentless storm of armed conflict and climate disaster, with more than 1.4 million people forced from their homes and nearly 5 million people facing critical hunger. Yet at the same time, international aid is collapsing. Mozambique’s problems are largely invisible in mainstream media and political will to tackle them is non-existent in the country, says the Norwegian Refugee Council. Worst affected is the oil and gas-rich region of Cabo Delgado, where there’s been an Islamist insurgency since 2017. More than six thousand people have been killed since then, 2,500 of them civilians.

I am happy to see the U.S. not having to do the work for the whole world. Other OECD countries need to step up now. Time to stop talking and have direct action. It was ridiculous that one country proved the world over half the aid.

America has fallen into Netanyahu's trap.. America spreads wars and bears full responsibility for this evil in the world.

The symbol of Gaddafi is eternal and forever

Long live African people, they are the future of mankind.

Egeland has the same speech mime as Stoltenberg. Is it learned through the Norwegian curriculum, or is it part of Norwegian culture?

Africans do not need Europe, but the opposite is not true, because without African neocolonialism, Europe becomes the poorest continent in the world.

Where is Greta Thunberg for africans?

People in my country South Africa are waving the Palestinian flag. They have no idea what is happening in Africa .😭

At least they aren't colonized.

They are this way through centuries. But there are always the European to take the blame. Even if they are sitting over plenty of Natural Resources.

Which displacement is in Uganda??

I fail to see how we’ve neglected Africa, the U.S. spends close to $12 billion each year in foreign aid for decades

sad but africans made their own bed, they yell they have corrupt leaders but the citizens aren't far from greedy and corrupt. They were introduced to doing criminal activity like the slave trade for alcohol and other cheap gifts now they do the same with resources. I dont see africa ever being a superpower too much division amongst tribes

Been supporting Africa for Decades. No change, their Leaders are not capable of ruling their Country, their Citizens. It’s about time for Africa to solve their problems on their own.

America bombed Iran illegally and without right at the United Nations, and it did the same before in Iraq. No one needs an explanation or wants to understand that. But what does it mean to millions of Ukrainians that America has abandoned them to their nightmare reality? And how does Ukraine feel about the West's silence and its blurring of the line between what is happening in Ukraine and what is happening there? Is the blood of Ukrainians just for entertainment?

I think you are out of your mind 😂 where is displacement in Uganda

No oil money to sponsor CNN, BBC, Aljazera to highlight their plight

😢

"Nobody seems to care "in Mozambique", well no one seems to care in Alberta, Canada either, and we too will have our mass exodus

Global and willful neglect clustered on the African continent is evidence of ongoing economic-mediated genocide. World leaders should recognize this fatal neglect as an act of continental, if not racial, war.
