NOTES:
(1) This chart is intended to include major population groups in Africa (i.e. over 100,000 people affected from country of origin).

(2) The breakdowns between the origins of the refugees in Guinea and Zambia are estimates

(3) Boxes on the diagonal (bold outline) show internally displaced populations (total = 7.7 million)

(4) Numbers referred to in the text are usually by the country where the population is located (i.e. column totals). For the regional situations of Burundi/Rwanda and Mozambique the description is by country of origin (i.e. row totals).
