Central African Republic: Papal Visit Sheds Light on Security, Humanitarian Access Challenges in War-Torn Country
:: Pope’s visit to war-torn country amid continuing tensions symbol of much-needed reconciliation between communities.
:: International and local humanitarian agencies still working at limited capacity because of volatile and unpredictable security, both in and out of the capital.
:: Pope should support the International Rescue Committee’s call to condemn attacks against humanitarian actors, ask warring parties to cease hostilities and grant access to most vulnerable, specifically PK5 in Bangui.
:: International spotlight on CAR should not be limited to the pope’s visit; donors should redouble funding essential social services until the government is able to take over.
