Migration patterns in the region have seen a notable increase. In 2025, a total of 522,587 migratory movements were observed at the 9 monitoring points in Djibouti. This represents a 20 percent rise compared to the previous year.

The increase in migratory movements can be attributed to several factors, including improved security conditions on routes from Ethiopia to Djibouti. Additionally, migrants who were returned from Yemen are attempting to go back to the Arabian Peninsula. Further details on the migration trends and factors contributing to the increase are available from the annual report on migration flows in Djibouti for 2025.
