Situation Overview

Severe violence and widespread displacement have been ongoing in the Central African Republic (CAR) since 2013 when a protection crisis erupted. The security situation in CAR remains volatile despite the peace agreement signed in February 2019. CAR continues to experience a highly complex and precarious humanitarian situation where persistent insecurity affects the lives of civilians. Clashes have once again erupted in the capital city of Bangui in an area heavily populated by Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). ETC activities have not been impacted by the conflict in this period.
