10 million children in need of humanitarian assistance in the Central Sahel is twice as many as in 2020 and the growing, and rapidly spreading crisis, is largely due to spiralling conflict and insecurity.
He warned that the conflict that started in northern Mali has spread to Burkina Faso and that today it impacts the west African nations of Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Benin and Togo, where attacks are increasingly taking place on schools and communities by armed groups who are pushing people off their farms and their land.
John James said the United Nations Children’s Fund has been present in the Central Sahel for many decades, with about 600 staff across the three countries and around 15 offices. He pointed out that if an investment is made to keep services going in these areas, this could “reduce the likelihood of conflict in the future and build social cohesion in those areas.”James agreed this is “definitely one of those forgotten emergencies,” with international attention focussed on many other big conflicts during the past 12 months or so.
