19-04-2009 The future of Paoua


Members of a self defense group in Paoua.
Due to the extreme shortage of police in the Central African Republic, neighborhoods organize their own security. These groups of young men patrol the streets; they settle disputes and prevent petty theft. Some groups outside Paoua are known to clash with rebels regularly.

it looks close to anarchy or tribal organisation...
Hope the State will come to manage.
