Amnesty International Press Release (20 Oct 2011)
Central African Republic: Civilians bear the brunt of decades of violence and abuses
Local and foreign armed groups in the CAR are still killing, abducting, torturing and raping civilians, as well as burning houses and looting property, Amnesty International said in a report released today.
The report Central African Republic – Action needed to end decades of abuse describes how CAR’s population has been terrorized for decades by armed groups who have been able to operate with virtual impunity.
Despite peace agreements and a fledgling Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration process, armed conflict continues to ravage the country resulting in civilian deaths and mass internal displacement.

Central African Republic: Consolidated Appeal 2011 Mid-Year Review
In the midst of a still-fragile regional context, the Central African Republic (CAR) has achieved a significant step towards peace consolidation, with the peaceful holding of national elections in early 2011. In spite of the many claims put forward by the opposition regarding the legitimacy of the parliamentary election results, incumbent President Bozize was re-elected for a second term without major incidents. However, this important achievement has not yet brought the anticipated improvements for the vast majority of the CAR population.
In the north-west where the majority of the internally displaced people are located, little progress has been made towards building an environment conducive to durable returns. Similarly, CAR refugees in both Cameroon and Chad await further guarantees before returning to their home country. Whilst a comprehensive reintegration strategy has been agreed by the Government and its partners, no concrete steps have yet been taken in the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process, in spite of the strong will of the Government to do so.

Une mission d’évaluation rapide multi-sectorielle a été réalisée par l’ONG ACTED (Agence d’Aide à la Coopération Technique et au Développement) dans la sous-préfecture de Djémah du 3 au 4 juillet 2011 pour évaluer les besoins des populations de cette zone enclavée.
La sous-préfecture de Djémah souffre de l’enclavement lié à la dégradation sécuritaire sur la Préfecture du Haut-Mbomou qui limite l’accès humanitaire à la zone et donc les interventions visant à soutenir la couverture des besoins essentiels. ACTED intervient à Djémah depuis 2009 dans le cadre d’un financement EuropeAid de promotion des micro-projets. L’ONG a mené une évaluation rapide début juillet 2011 afin d’identifier les besoins multi-sectoriels des 2919 habitants de la sous-préfecture de Djémah. La ville de Djémah est divisée en 3 grands quartiers (Ourou, Fouka et Centre Urbain) composés de 6 villages (Tourombo, Fouka, Centre Urbain, Ourou I, Ourou II, Mabon).

Prime Minister makes emergency appeal
Bangui, Central African Republic – Faustin Touadera, Prime Minister of the Central African Republic, issued an emergency appeal for international support in the wake of a catastrophic failure of the country’s power system. After nearly 60 years of service and erratic maintenance at best, and despite offers from key donors to help over the course of the past few months, CAR’s weak electric infrastructure has taken one more step towards complete collapse. Rolling blackouts, often lasting more than 24 hours, have now plunged the capital into nearly complete darkness. Continue Reading »

Download the 2008 Needs Analysis Framework in English (2.1 MB) – PDF
The Needs Analysis Framework analyzes the humanitarian needs in the Central African Republic, mainly of civilians living in the northern areas affected by conflict and violence. As a consequence of poverty and under-development, and aggravated by the violent conflict and banditry, urgent needs exist in all sectors. First and foremost, the humanitarian crisis in CAR is a protection and human rights crisis, with 305,000 people being forced to flee their homes. But many people also have no access to hospitals, health centres, schools, and markets, they have no drinking water and cannot work their fields, and many have no roof to protect them from the rains.
