    Faces of the Central African Republic Shows How This Solidarity Touches the Lives of People, in One of the Most Forgotten and Invisible Crises

    This book shows a fraction of the FACES OF THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC Central African women, men and children that were assisted by the Dutch Relief Alliance in 2019. And it shows some of our first responders. They don’t cover all FACES OF THE the work. They don’t show all the CENTRAL AFRICAN realities and challenges. They don’t tell everything there is to tell. But REPUBLIC they do give a face to what we, humanitarians, commonly call the CAR JR: the Joint Response in the Central African Republic. 3 Foreword With over 1,2 million refugees and internally displaced persons, the Central African Republic is the scene of one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Yet, the country is largely ignored by global media and politics. This book is timely, as it gives a face to this invisible crisis. It shows some of the challenges, the grief and the resilience of Central Africans and the frontline aid workers who reach out to them. It also shows that humanitarian aid is about more than saving lives. It’s about giving children the opportunities to be a child again. About finding hope and carving a future against the backdrop of the grief and loss that come with war. It’s about human dignity. Human dignity is at the heart of Dutch humanitarian aid. In partnership with the Dutch Relief Alliance, we reach out where it is most needed, a-politically and as effective and efficient as possible. The Dutch Relief Alliance is a typical example – and maybe even a typically Dutch example – of combining forces and serving one, common goal.

    Update on Key Events in the Central African Republic From 10 to 26 February 2020 Operations • Repatriation movements UNHCR CAR has resumed its activities of voluntary repatriation of Central African refugees from the various countries of asylum. It is hosting a convoy of 250 people from the Lolo camp in Cameroon, today, 26 February 2020. Voluntary repatriation of Central African refugees from Cameroon UNHCR Also the last week, a convoy of 94 households including 151 returnees was welcomed at Bangui airport from Brazzaville. All these people received, after their arrival, monetary assistance and certificates of loss of documents for adults. UNHCR is also continuing preparations for the resumption of voluntary repatriation of refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon. • Fire alerts in this dry season are becoming more and more recurrent at the various IDP sites, particularly in Kaga Bandoro, Batangafo and Bambari. These fires are sometimes due to poor handling of household fires. To minimize the risk of fire, UNHCR is currently conducting awareness campaigns at IDP sites. This awareness raising focused on the different mechanisms for fire management and strengthening the fire prevention strategy. In response, UNHCR provided assistance in complete NFI kits to 26 fire-affected households at the Bambari livestock site.

The six-month mission with about 800 troops is to be deployed as quickly as possible to the Central African Republic. In recent months CAR has witnessed grow- ing inter-religious violence, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians and an ensuing humanitarian disaster. France sent a rapid response force and the African Union expanded its existing mission to 5,400 men. Since the election of the President Catherine Samba-Panza matters appear to be making a tentative turn for the better. But it will be a long time before it becomes apparent whether the decisions of recent weeks have put CAR on the road to solving its elementary structural problems. First of all, tangible successes are required in order to contain the escalating violence. That will require a further increase in AU forces and the deployment of a robust UN mission.

    United Nations S/2018/922* Security Council Distr.: General 15 October 2018 Original: English Situation in the Central African Republic Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. In its resolution 2387 (2017), the Security Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) until 15 November 2018 and requested that I report on its implementation. The present report is submitted pursuant to that resolution. 2. Further to my initiative to reform peacekeeping and my Action for Peacekeeping initiative, I asked Juan Gabriel Valdés to lead an independent strategic review of MINUSCA. He undertook that review from June until September 2018, with 15 multidisciplinary experts from various agencies in the United Nations System, and visited the Central African Republic from 2 to 15 July. He consulted with a wide range of stakeholders, including President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, Prime Minister Simplice Sarandji and members of his Government, representatives of the National Assembly and main political parties, armed groups, civil society, women and youth groups, religious leaders and the Central African population, as well as memb ers of the diplomatic community, including the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), the European Union, MINUSCA and the United Nations country and humanitarian teams. In addition to Bangui, the team visited Bambari, Bangassou, Bouar, Bria and Kaga Bandoro, and sought consultations in Addis
