Highlights
▪ The week under review saw increased rainfall in the Vakaga locality, specifically in Birao. As a result, the road leading to Korsi was impracticable for some time due to minor flooding. Korsi also experienced flooding for most of the past week without any significant damage.
▪ In the prefecture of Bamingui Bangoran, on the Ndele -Ngarba axis, unidentified armed men attacked the villages of Zobossinda and Kundi (these villages host some 277 Sudanese refugees), committing acts of violence against civilians, traumatizing the entire population who live in fear.
▪ Despite the presence of the Central African Forces and the MINUSCA forces in Birao, the security situation on the roads leading to the Korsi district remained unpredictable, especially on the axes leading to Am-Dafock, Boromata, Matala and Tiringoulou in the Vakaga prefecture. The active presence of non-state armed groups has been reportedly perpetrating severe human rights violations on the residents living on that axis and in certain localities linking Birao. This situation has caused a permanent apprehension of fear among the population around Birao, with reports of pre-emptive movements of residents into the bush or to rural camps.
▪ The security situation in Haute Kotto and Ouaka remained relatively calm this week, due to the presence of the MUNUSCA forces and the Forces de Défenses et de la Sécurité Intérieure. Their efforts have helped maintain calm, despite the worrying situation on certain roads in the two prefectures.
▪ In Boromata, Sikikede, Tiringoulou and Birao, there have been cases of robbery and hold-ups against the population and humanitarian workers.
