Rebel Groups Temporarily Allow Humanitarian Passage Into Central African Republic’s Capital

Humanitarian convoys made way into the Central African Republic’s capital, Bangui, after rebel groups temporarily allowed passage. 

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 57% of the population are at risk. 

“Among them, nearly three-quarters have acute humanitarian needs.” 

The Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC), an alliance of six of the most powerful armed groups, have controlled most of the country’s eight-year civil war.
