    Central African Republic

    There are [5] photos and [1] story about Central African Republic

    When Nura was a little girl she was waiting to grow up so she could get married. Now she is waiting for her daughters to grow up and get married in their turn. Things haven't changed much in N'Dele since she was a child. by: alyona Views[584] Camara in his restaurant waiting for clients. Now he is also waiting to see what the negotiations between the government and the rebels will bring. Although that is not so important. Presidents come and go. Rebel groups get formed and disassembled. His restaurant is always there. by: alyona Views[572] N'Dele resembles a busy intersection in the middle of the African continent. Many come and go, but very few want to stay. Abah is a nomad cattle-breeder from Niger. He lost his herds passing through the region. Now he spends his days at the market waiting for someone to give him food. Waiting to go home one day. by: alyona Views[724] When boys become men they rarely stay in N'Dele. Some go to mining areas to look for dimonds. Others go to neighbouring Chad and Soudan to look for jobs. Many join rebel groups and it is hard to tell whether they know what they look for. Sometimes they come back. Often they don't. But their women are always there. Waiting. by: alyona Views[711] Assan in an improvised camp just outside N'Dele. His family moved here after the town was taken over by rebels. A recurrent event in this part of the world. Not even exciting anymore. Now he is waiting for things to settle down and for his school to open again. by: alyona Views[900]
