How might the GERD affect the water resources and agricultural production of downstream countries like Egypt and Sudan?

The GERD's completion marks a significant milestone for Ethiopia's energy independence but raises concerns among downstream countries, Egypt and Sudan, about Nile water access. Egypt estimates a 2% reduction in Nile water could impact 200,000 acres of irrigated land. Ethiopia assures its neighbors that the dam is a shared opportunity, inviting them to the dam's inauguration, but past negotiations have failed to fully resolve concerns.

What are the potential long-term consequences of the ongoing conflict in Darfur on the affected population and the regional stability?

The ongoing conflict in Sudan is expected to result in a protracted humanitarian crisis, placing immense strain on neighboring countries and international aid organizations. The lack of access to food, water, and medical care, as experienced by Alawia and her family, will likely lead to increased malnutrition and mortality rates among displaced populations. The long-term effects of trauma, displacement, and economic disruption on the Sudanese population are severe and far-reaching.

What are the main ongoing conflicts driving global displacement, and what is their impact on different regions?

The primary driver of displacement is ongoing conflicts, particularly in Sudan, Myanmar, and Ukraine.

However, UNHCR warns that the intensity of ongoing conflicts will determine future displacement numbers.

What factors contributed to the increase in both refugee returns and overall displacement in 2024?

The increase in refugee returns, particularly from Syria, contrasts with the overall rise in global displacement. While the total number of displaced people increased by 7 million to 123.2 million in 2024 compared to the previous year, the return of 1.6 million international refugees represents a significant positive development. This suggests that specific political or security changes can influence return migration.
