Forced Migration
3. (i) (a) Read the article below which outlines the experience of refugees who are fleeing civil war in Cameroon in search of safety.
8,000 Cameroonian refugees have fled to Nigeria’s eastern and southern states, bringing the total Cameroonian refugee population in the country to nearly 60,000 people
Refugees reported fleeing violence and some even arrived across the border with gunshot wounds. According to new arrivals, most come from areas near the border and have trekked across savannah and forests to reach Nigeria.
Local communities and governments are the first responders to this latest influx, providing food, shelter and household items that are desperately needed for those who have left everything behind.
Refugees who just arrived are currently being sheltered in public schools and health facilities or with local families.
