Continuing Conflicts That Create Refugees - May 2017

Deteriorated Situations: Central African Republic, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand, Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan), Mexico, Egypt, Libya.

Outlook for June - Conflict Risk Alerts: Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan), Libya.

Resolution Opportunities: None

May saw a new escalation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, while in Libya deadly fighting in the south and in Tripoli dimmed prospects for reconciliation and bodes ill for June. In Egypt, the Islamic State (ISIS) orchestrated another major attack on Christians. Insurgent violence took a high toll on civilians in the Philippines and Afghanistan, and a bombing in Thailand’s deep south injured scores. Attacks on Sri Lanka’s Muslim community were a sign of rising tensions. In Africa, violence involving armed groups surged in the Central African Republic, jihadist attacks rose in Kenya, and former rebels now soldiers mutinied for the second time this year in Côte d’Ivoire. Further fragmentation of criminal organisations in Mexico fuelled violence. In a positive turn, Macedonia finally got a new government, offering a way out of the longstanding political crisis.
