Unrest and Potential Disaster in the Central African Republic

I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in a town southwest of the capital city of the Central African Republic (CAR) back in 1991-1993, so I obviously take personal interest in some of the current news coming out of central Africa. Sandwiched between Chad, the Darfur region of Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, CAR is now being dragged into the chaos plaguing the area.

• The New York Times
• UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
