The first humanitarian convoy since mid-December.
More than 1600 trucks had been blocked at the Cameroonian border since then. It is through this strategic zone that almost all the goods imported by the Central African Republic arrive.

On February 5th, the Central African Republic (CAR) extended a state of emergency for six months across the war-torn country as the fight against the rebel groups continues.
The country’s lawmakers gathered in a plenary assembly session on Friday and adopted the bill extending the January 21st state of emergency.
The situation in CAR, a landlocked country in the African continent, worsened after the rejection of former President Francois Bozize’s candidacy for the presidential election in December 2020.
Earlier this week, the Democratic Opposition Coalition, comprising over a dozen political parties, announced its withdrawal from the current electoral process and its rejection of the results.
The rebels also requested assistance from France, exploiting the fact that Paris considers Russia a threat to its interests in the former French colony, hoping that it would step in and provide assistance against the government.
