‘Renewed violence in the Central African Republic has forced thousands of people to flee and seek refuge in Chad and Cameroon, the UN Refugee Agency says.
“The exodus began on June 12 when clashes erupted between livestock herders and local arable farmers in and around the northwest town of Ngaoundaye, Ouham Pende region,” the agency, also known as the UNHCR, said in a statement Friday.
It added that the agency had helped register 5,643 Central African refugees in Chad, in the villages of Sourouh and Mini next to the border; and 555 refugees had crossed to the village of Yamba in eastern Cameroon.’
