Since the last update I received from Africa rebels have taken two additional villages – Alindao and Kouango. Alindao is south of Bombari while Kouango is south of Sibut. Neither village is on the main road to Bangui. In addition to overtaking the two villages, rebels have also destroyed a sugar factory. Despite the scheduled peace talks coming this week it seems they are still active.
A more immediate threat to the people of the Central African Republic is the troops sent to “assist”. These soldiers are setting up roadblocks and demanding money and possessions from the Bangui residents. The people they should be protecting are unable to purchase food for fear they will be stopped and robbed on the way.
