The president of the Central African Republic is reportedly preparing to step down after weeks of violence that have left over one thousand dead. Michel Djotodia could make the announcement today at a regional summit in Chad. Tens of thousands have been displaced since violence between Christian and Muslim militants exploded last month. At a camp housing more than 100,000 internally displaced people, the local coordinator for Doctors Without Borders warned of a humanitarian crisis.

Lindis Hurum: “It was very urgent to start because it’s very contagious, and this population is living in very dire hygienic conditions. The density of the camp is also impressive, and in these kind of camps there is a very high risk of epidemic.”
