Understanding Migration Along the Eastern Route Through Djibouti
Djibouti occupies a strategic position along the Eastern Route, serving as a key transit point for migrants seeking opportunities in the Gulf.
Migration flows through Djibouti are rising sharply, driven by regional conflict, economic pressures, and increasingly organized smuggling networks along the Eastern Route linking the Horn of Africa to the Arabian Peninsula.
Why IOM matters
Well-managed migration is crucial for advancing progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration presents a unique opportunity to enhance migration governance.
