The ongoing crisis in the Central African Republic has many implications. This IOM working paper is looking at migration, land and natural resource dimensions of Central African Republic crisis. The crisis has affected migration trends and also created new movements. “The current crisis has introduced a previously unpronounced ethno-religious dimension. This opens up a range of potentially long-term complexities for return, reconciliation and the already limited social cohesion,” part of the report says. “As some have warned, related tensions could spill-over into neighbouring countries. Therefore, CAR’s displacement and mobility issues have broader regional implications and sensitivities requiring a longer and more encompassing regional approach.” Chad and Cameroon are hosting considerable migrant populations and face their own challenges. There is no question that migration, including return migration, is and will be increasingly tied to development, conservation and sustainable natural resource management (including pastoral management), reconciliation, local governance and judiciary practices. Rebuilding the economy presents many opportunities for migrants, and migration would also have an important function in #CAR’s economic development. #CARcrisis Read more from IOM report from the Land Property and Reparations Division goo.gl/FC3FMZ
