Where's the Humanity?

Central African Republicans struggle to regain what is human.

We know that the Central African Republican religious groups can inflict pain and terror on each other. They have proved that, but it isn't the way to solve things in the long run. Even if the Muslims are forced out, what comes around goes around. The Muslims won't let it rest and will fight again when they gain strength. This war has turned them into animals. They fight their brothers and sisters who they have been peaceful with before. They kill without guilt. All the women and children are suddenly surrounded by blind killing machines.

At this point thousands of troops have been placed in CAR from France and AU, also million of dollars have been donated to help control the situation. Many organizations are working to help ease the situation of the hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people. They are working to provide food, latrines, shelters, health care, protection, and water to wash. Some of these organizations are UNICEF, MSF, COOPI, ICRC, UNHCR, and OMEJ. Mainly all of these services are placed in Bangui the capital because that is where most people are displaced.

We can donate to any of these organizations to help fund the cause. Just being aware of what is going on in this country and understanding all the people who have to live like that every single day. The innocent stuck in CAR have done nothing wrong but are punished for it. They are the ones who need the resources to stay alive.
