Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

1 West African tool to analyse and identify areas and amount of people at risk of food and nutrition insecurity.

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

Voix obtenues par candidat et taux de participation

Nuquay, du Parti de l’Unité ont obtenu 457 579 voix. À l’exception du comté de Lofa, la région natale de M. Boakai, George Weah a remporté tous les autres comtés. Cependant, près de la moitié des votes pour George Weah ont été remportés dans le comté de Montserrado qui comprend la capitale et où la participation électorale était la plus forte (65.3 %). George Weah avait remporté le premier tour mais, avec 39 % des voix, n’avait pas obtenu la majorité absolue. C’était la troisième fois que George Weah briguait la présidence. Il avait été battu en 2005 et 2011 (en tant que candidat à la vice-présidence lors de la campagne du candidat Winston Tubman) contre la présidente Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Cette

dernière ne pouvait se représenter une troisième fois en raison de la loi constitutionnelle qui limite le nombre de mandats présidentiels. Vingt candidats ont participé à la campagne offi cielle, refl étant la fragmentation du paysage politique libérien. Il n’y a pas de majorité claire à la Chambre des représentants. Sur les 73 sièges, le CDC de George Weah a remporté 21 sièges contre 19 au Parti de l’Unité, l’ancien parti au pouvoir. Le Parti de l’unifi cation du peuple représente la troisième force politique du pays avec cinq sièges. Les candidats indépendants ont remporté 12 sièges. Cette élection marque la première passation de pouvoir pacifi que au Libéria.
