• As the insurgency continues, prevailing fragile stability and complex humanitarian situation particularly in Borno State and parts of Adamawa and Yobe are worsened by clashes between the military and insurgents, attacks on civilian targets and suicide bombings.
• Women and children, have been exposed to grave, multiple risks and violations, including being increasingly used as Person-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (PBIED); while men and young boys are exposed to forced recruitment, harassment, arbitrary arrest and detention, as well as disappearances.
