Chatham House article on situation in CAR

Posted in Brussels, Central African Republic, publications on Oct 3rd, 2007 1 Comment »

World Today articleUN Resident Coordinator Toby Lanzer recently published a short article on the situation in CAR in The World Today, a publication of Chatham House in London. The article lays out some of the issues facing the country as it heads into a donor round table meeting in Brussels at the end of October.

Major concerns include continuing violence in the north and north-east, regional tensions and their effects on CAR, as well as the alarming spectre of the country’s mineral wealth getting caught up in surrounding conflicts. Donors, the article concludes, should treat humanitarian aid as a bridge to critical development assistance and investment, and the international community should strive to ensure that regional crises do not spill over more borders and further destabilize the region.
