BANGUI, June 16, 2013 (AFP) - At least 16 people have been killed during clashes between rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and villagers in Central African Republic, a military source said late Saturday.

LRA fighters attacked two villages in the central mining region of Bria on Thursday, initially killing six people and wounding about 10 others as they looted houses, said the source.

"The rebels were pursued and caught by villagers armed with rifles... who killed four of them," the source added.

These assessments revealed needs in the Health, Water and Sanitation (WASH), Protection, Education and Food Security sectors in several provinces.

On 1 June 2013, fourteen children were finally reunited with their families, some of them after years of separation. The children had all been recruited into armed groups or the armed forces. Before returning home, they spent several months at a demobilization and rehabilitation centre in Bangui, where they were kept busy with games and given business or tailoring training. The aim of these activities was to help the children overcome their traumatic experience and regain as much of a normal life as possible. (Please note that the children's real names are not used.)

LIBREVILLE, 14 juin 2013 (AFP) - Le président centrafricain Michel Djotodia, qui a pris le pouvoir fin mars, a affirmé vendredi que la situation se normalisait à Bangui, où les anciens rebelles étaient "en train d'être désarmés", à l'ouverture d'un sommet des chefs d'Etats d'Afrique centrale à Libreville.

La République centrafricaine risque de subir de graves pénuries alimentaires à cause de l'instabilité générée avant, pendant et après le coup d’État du 24 mars par la coalition rebelle de la Seleka.

Cette crise, qui touche toute la population du pays - 4,6 millions -, a laissé des dizaines de milliers de personnes dans le besoin d'abris d'urgence, de soins de santé et d'aide alimentaire. On compte 200 000 personnes déplacées à l'intérieur du pays et des dizaines de milliers de réfugiés au Cameroun, au Tchad et en République démocratique du Congo (RDC).
