BETWEEN

THE INHABITANTS OF NDENGA AND THOSE DISPLACED FROM NDENGA LIVING IN

KAGA BANDORO

• Considering that the town of Ndcnga has suffered from the m#ilitary crisis that has taken place in CAR, since 2012.

• Considering that the violence, destruction of land, theft of livestock, attacks on NGOs convoys have put the population in a difficult position

• Considering that the conflict is about to begin involving farmers and breeders on one side and the gangs of Doukoma and Ndenga on the other.

• Considering the negative effects of the barricades built by the Anti-balakas in Doukouma

• Considering the uncontrollable flow into the area of Anti-balakas as well as Ex-Seleka, Mbororos farmers, and armed Mbararas groups.

• Considering the unemployment rate of young people who take part in robberies and attacks that inhibit free movement;
