Unstable political situation complicates aid work<\/h5>\n

The political situation in the Central African Republic is still unstable 2 months after the presidential election.
\nIn mid-December, armed unrest broke out (we reported in the news of December 18, 2020) and our medical project staff had to leave the hospital in Bossemb\u00e9l\u00e9 to be brought to safety. During this time, medical care could be provided by the local staff. From the capital Bangui, Cap Anamur staff were in constant contact with the hospital staff in Bossemb\u00e9l\u00e9.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”105739″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”120651″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”121560″]<\/p>\n

Cap Anamur organizes food delivery<\/h5>\n

Until mid-January, the situation around our hospital site was very tense. Our medical staff and the project staff could only monitor the situation from a distance. Since nearly 1,000 people sought refuge on our hospital grounds when the fighting began, their supply of food and water had to be ensured. We therefore arranged for a large food delivery on December 28. After that, some calm returned and many shelter seekers returned to their villages.<\/p>\n

Cap Anamur employees return to work<\/h5>\n

At the end of January, Cap Anamur staff were able to return to the hospital and help care for the patients.<\/p>\n

Once again, riots lead to emergency situations and require further food and medicine delivery<\/h5>\n

At the beginning of February, unrest picked up again and many hundreds of people again sought refuge on the hospital grounds. We were able to supply the people well with a large delivery of food and medicine. To prevent infectious diseases in such a large number of people, we have installed new sanitary facilities. The higher water demand could be covered by the extension of the well.<\/p>\n

As the population is currently in a crisis situation, we offer our medical care free of charge.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”105740″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”942752″ media_width_pixel=”640″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”105617″]<\/p>\n

Cap Anamur Podcast Episode 1: Central African Republic<\/h5>\n

We report on the current situation and the political background that led to the armed unrest in the first episode of our Cap Anamur Podcast. In it, our board chairman Volker Rath talks to board member Dr. Werner H\u00f6fner, who has made regular project visits to the Central African Republic, about the political situation in the country.<\/p>\n

Our current project staff member Jesse, who has spent the last few weeks on site as a nurse, also reports on the current situation. Our local project worker Marius Akpe and our managing director Bernd G\u00f6ken also have their say, and provide an interesting overview of our work in the Central African Republic – and explain how important the aid will continue to be in the future.<\/p>\n
