Key takeaway Le volume des retours a considérablement augmenté, progressant de 29 pour cent entre 2024 et 2025, principalement en raison de la peur accrue de retours organisés par les gouvernements du Yémen et de l'Arabie saoudite.
Why this matters
The increase in migratory movements observed in Djibouti in 2025 is closely tied to the complex interplay of factors in the region, including improved security conditions on migration routes, the return of migrants from Yemen, food insecurity in Ethiopia, and the growing organization of smugglers. Notably, while overall migratory movements increased by 20 percent, incoming movements from Ethiopia actually decreased by 5 percent, largely due to government measures to deter irregular migration and increased border presence. The significant rise in return movements, up 29 percent from 2024 to 2025, is also a key trend, driven by fears of organized returns by the governments of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. As humanitarian organizations and faith-based groups respond to the needs of migrants in the region, they must navigate these complex dynamics and consider the root causes of migration, including conflict, environmental degradation, and economic inequality.
