IOM Warns of Mounting Migration Pressures on Djibouti

The International Organization for Migration has warned that Djibouti is facing overlapping emergencies as it continues to handle arrivals from Yemen and migrants passing through its territory toward Gulf countries.

The warning highlights the pressure on Djibouti from migration movements involving both people entering the country and those using it as a transit point.

Continued arrivals from Yemen form part of that challenge, alongside the movement of migrants seeking to travel onward to the Gulf.

The IOM’s assessment places Djibouti at the intersection of these flows, underscoring how simultaneous migration pressures are compounding the difficulties facing the country.
