🚨 The UN has raised alarms over escalating violence in the Central African Republic (CAR), where recent attacks displaced hundreds and strained humanitarian efforts. Armed clashes in the Mboki region this week killed civilians, burned homes, and forced ~1,000 residents to shelter in a local church, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
💔 Humanitarian workers face extreme risks: Two NGO staffers were injured by stray bullets last week while delivering food and sanitation aid with the UN Population Fund. OCHA warns that poor telecom networks and ongoing insecurity are crippling relief operations in critical zones.
Contrasting Reports on CAR’s Stability
While the International Crisis Group noted improved national security in its November 2025 report, rural areas like Mboki remain volatile. Armed groups continue targeting mining sites and civilians, deepening intercommunal tensions. Over 50,000 people still rely on urgent aid in high-risk regions.
🌍 The UN urges global attention to prevent further destabilization. As one aid worker put it: "Every attack sets back years of progress."
