  • On-Going Humanitarian Emergency Threatens the Nutritional Status of Vulnerable Children and Women in the Central African Republi
    On-going humanitarian emergency threatens the nutritional status of vulnerable children and women in the Central African Republic Nutrition Cluster Advocacy Note as of 5th February 2021 Nutrition Cluster partners in the Central African Republic (CAR) are extremely concerned about the risk of deterioration in the nutritional status of vulnerable children and women due to the on-going humanitarian emergency. For the 2021 CAR Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), the Nutrition Cluster estimated that approximately 1.1 million of persons need nutrition assistance, with 205,642 children under five years acutely malnourished. 62,327 with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), who risk death without immediate treatment, and 143,315 with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). Additionally, an estimated 37,000 pregnant or lactating women (PLW) are also malnourished making them vulnerable to maternal mortality and varied morbidities that will negatively affect their infants. Furthermore, an estimated 90,000 children aged between 6 -59 months and 140,000 PLW are in need of Blanket supplementary feeding programme. According to UN estimates, nearly 1.93 million people in CAR are expected to be in high acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) through April 20211. The procurement capacities of CAR’s markets have greatly diminished, and price monitoring has demonstrated a rise in the price of staple foods since December 20202. Many large traders and herders have fled the country, raising fears of a market collapse that could exacerbate the current food crisis. At least 63,800 people have been internally displaced3 and another 105 300 seeking shelter in neighboring countries4. In addition to mounting food insecurity, vulnerable populations have also had to cope with a collapse of basic healthcare services since the beginning of the crisis.

To assess the clinical cure rate after treatment with benzathinepenicillin in this population, we conducted a cohort survey of 243 patients in the Lobaye region. Findings and conclusion: The rate of healing of lesions after 5 months was 95.9%. This relatively satisfactory level of therapeutic response implies that yaws could be controlled in the Central African Republic. Thus, reinforcement of the management of new cases and of contacts is suggested. Keywords: Yaws, Treatment, Central African Republic Background Painful palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and keratoderma Yaws is a skin and bone non-venereal treponematosis are also observed during this third stage. caused by Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue.Itis Basically, the diagnosis of an infection by Treponema not considered a neglected disease, but a forgotten one pertenue is based on three criteria,(i) the emergence of [1,2].

  • La République Centrafricaine De L'authentique Panafricaniste
    RÉPONSE À LA LETTRE OUVERTE DES ORGANISATIONS « DIAPORA AFRICAINE EN EUROPE » ET « GROUPE AGIR EUROPE-AFRIQUE » La République Centrafricaine de l’authentique panafricaniste Barthélémy Boganda n’est pas votre marchepied. Le 7 janvier 2021 _____ Depuis plusieurs années, la République centrafricaine est devenue le repaire d’une nouvelle race de prédateurs : les prédateurs sous-couvert de panafricanisme. Des personnages qui présentent les mêmes caractéristiques générales s’y pavanent avec arrogance : souvent méconnus au bataillon dans leurs propres pays, présentant des capacités incertaines, dépourvus de tout passé et de tout arrière-plan de lutte, invités de luxe du pouvoir à Bangui, ils sont passés maîtres dans l’art peu glorieux de la production stéréotypée d’un discours servile cynique grassement rémunéré. Nous avons jusqu’à présent supporté leurs logorrhées et leurs récitations aussi grotesques qu’injurieuses. À présent, cela suffit ! À eux tous, moi, Jean-François AKANDJI-KOMBÉ, citoyen centrafricain et fier de l’être, je dis aujourd’hui : Vous êtes une insulte à la mémoire panafricaniste de notre père fondateur, Barthélémy BOGANDA, ainsi qu’à celle des pères et mères du panafricanisme ; une injure permanente à l’intelligence des centrafricains. Nous, centrafricains, nous nous souviendrons que vous avez délibérément choisi d’être une part du problème qui gangrène notre pays, parce que ce problème vous nourrit. Aux initiateurs de la lettre à laquelle j’ai décidé de répondre aujourd’hui, je dis ceci. Vous avez décidé d’en découdre avec les candidats et les partis de l’opposition démocratique de notre pays, à nous les Centrafricains. Il leur revient de vous répondre sur le fond et je les exhorte à le faire.
