CAR Central African Republic: Fragile, failed and forlorn

[davidbfpo]

From MSF a report on the deterioration in CAR, in the countryside and in places previously unaffected:

Last year, CAR had the second highest number of violent incidents in the world – second only to Syria

It appears few wish to help:

The United Nations estimates that more than two million people, almost half of the country’s inhabitants, depend on foreign aid. Around US$400 million is required: they haven't even been able to raise 13 percent of this figure.

There is a BBC News report from March 2015 (6 mins), by Fergal Keane, which illustrates how difficult the CAR is - for the UN peacekeepers:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybHcjMcadTc
