Are the lines themselves essential, or is the information the lines communicate what's important?

I feel like you could use colour or some other method of connection the stitched together plots. Might not work, but worth a shot over deep-diving into how to draw a line?

On the first point, it'd make Sudan much more visible as the low contrast between adjacent countries hides that there's been a level of displacement going on for decades

Depending on the actual underlying numbers, you could always not fill very small/nil counts to make the trends more visible

You could annotate some important events or trends, such as onsets of conflicts or an explainer of the sharp cut off for Yemen in the 2020s
