UNHCR steps up assistance for Central African Republic refugees in DRC
KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of the Congo, March 11 (UNHCR) – The UN refugee agency and the World Food Programme are stepping up efforts to help more than 24,000 refugees from Central African Republic and UNHCR is examining the possibility of constructing a refugee camp in northern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
In a joint press statement, the UN sister organizations said an estimated 22,000 civilians from Central African Republic (CAR) had fled to DRC's Equateur province and 2,000 to Orientale Province to escape instability in their country, where a fragile peace deal is in place between the government and rebel forces following fighting in December.
In Equateur, most of the refugees are staying with host families in and around the towns of Gbadolite and Mobayi-Mbongo and the arrivals include a large number of women and children, some of whom are unaccompanied minors.
UNHCR's regional representative, Stefano Severe, was quoted as saying that the government was ready to allocate land to establish a camp for the refugees in Equateur province. "We welcome this decision because the refugees are facing major protection issues and the number of new refugees is far beyond the reception capacity of the host communities," he said.
A number of sites are being looked at in the area around Gbadolite, where there is an airport. Grouping the scattered refugees in a camp accessible by road from the town would make it easier to provide protection and assistance, but the challenges include finding a site with access to water and which can be reached easily.
The joint press statement said many of the young refugees were malnourished and it quoted the World Food Programme's country director, Martin Ohlsen, as saying the refugees "lack basic food supplies and other items and don't have any means to earn a living. And they are coming into communities which themselves have limited resources."
Some local people say the arrival of the refugees has changed their daily lives. "I am very happy to help these people," said Andy in Mobayi-Mbongo, which lies on the Oubangui River. "However, we must recognize that it is difficult for me to continue supporting them."
He said that normally one bucket of cassava flour was enough for his family of 12, but now they needed three buckets. "I have to go fishing at night in order to make enough money to support the refugees," Andy added
To meet the immediate needs of the refugees, the partner organizations have started transporting aid and personnel to the area, including a 16-strong emergency team from UNHCR whose members will register the refugees in Gbadolite and Mobayi-Mbongo.
The press statement said the World Food Programme (WFP) had last week transported 175 tonnes of food to Gbadolité to meet the needs of some 22,000 refugees for 15 days. The ration packs include maize meal, pulses, vegetable oil and iodized salt. To counter the high malnutrition rates among children, WFP also transported 20 tonnes of a peanut-based food supplement for up to 3,500 children for two months. The agency will also deliver high energy biscuits to meet the emergency needs of 11,000 children and women for six days.
The press statement said UNHCR has (over the past two weeks) transported and delivered non-food items, including 2,500 kitchen sets, 6,000 jerry cans, 3,000 tarpaulins, 5,000 mosquito nets, 5,000 blankets, 5,000 sleeping mats, 6,000 buckets and five tons of soap to meet emergency needs.
WFP and UNHCR have also distributed assistance to the newly arrived refugees in Orientale Province. Access to the refugees, however, remains a challenge in both of the DRC provinces due to the poor state of the roads and the threat posed by armed groups in the region. "We must travel 400 kilometres by car, motorbike and boat to get there," said Severe.

The Associated Student Body presidential election took an unexpected turn last night at The University of Mississippi. An hour before the announcement of results current Attorney General Matthew Kiefer and deputies held a preliminary investigation of potential violations in the administration of both presidential campaigns. Kiefer said violations were reported by individual students and the Elections Commission independent of campaigns. “They have the highest priority and the highest value in their witnessing,” Kiefer said of the Elections Commission. Kiefer confirmed that both presidential candidates, Gregory Alston and Maddie Fumi, were cited for campaign violations, but that fines assessed did not exceed $100. Candidates would have been automatically disqualified if their violation total had exceeded $100. “I had received reports of sticker violations, flyers being misplaced and a few reports of violations that could warrant disqualification,” Kiefer said. Kiefer maintained that the results of the election would stand, even in light of the violations of both campaigns, and that the most common violation was inappropriately placed campaign materials. “The outcome of the election would not change,” Kiefer said, “No matter if there were zero fines, or if the fines were enforced to the fullest.” Following a 30-minute deliberation, Alston and Fumi joined other candidates and supporters outside the Lyceum where current ASB executives announced the results of Tuesday’s election in which a record 4,821 votes were cast. “We had a record number this year,” Associate Dean of Students Melinda Pullen Carlson of the historic turnout. “This shows students that this election process is important to the student body,” Headlining the winners of Tuesday’s election was Alston, who secured his spot as the 2013-14 ASB president with 60.65 percent of the votes cast. Alston’s platform included the formation of a University Creed Week, comprehensive attention to the issue of parking difficulties on campus, proposing that students be allowed to pay their first tickets through community service, making Flex and Express funds usable at all sporting events and a five-day dead week before finals. Alston has most recently served as the ASB director of athletics, a member of the Sensitivity and Respect Committee, and was voted Senator of the Year in 2012. “I’ve been involved in ASB for a while now, and I was really excited to see that so many people voted,” Alston said. “We just had a great turnout and that’s just huge — it’s hard to get the students to vote sometimes.” President-elect Alston said he realizes that he did not win this election alone. “I just want to thank everybody — I had a great team, and there’s no way I could have done this by myself,” Alston said. “This is something I’ve been dreaming about, and I’m just looking forward to the next year.” Kelsey Pettus, freshman biology major and Alston supporter, was pleased with the election results. “I’m very pleased with the turnout,” Pettus said. “I know Gregory is going to do a great job leading the school.” Freshman criminal justice major Ashley Baril was similarly pleased. “I think the results are a very accurate representation of everyone’s opinion on campus, as far as what I saw on Facebook and all social media,” Baril said. “I’m really excited for everything they’re going to do.” Kimbrely Dandridge, current president of the Ole Miss Associated Student Body, emphasized her optimism for the success of the newly elected administration. “I’m excited for the newly elected ASB officers,” Dandridge said. “I am confident that they will each contribute greatly to the entire student body, and I wish them all the best of luck.” Maddie Fumi was unavailable for comment on the election results.

I took lots of similar pictures, swapping out a larger brush and placing it in several places and at different angles, but in the end I chose the second picture I took, with the original brush as it was at the beginning. I pushed the contrast a bit more than usual, but other than that I left it alone.
