After nearly three years of war in Sudan, violence has forced families to flee across the border into the 🇨🇫 Central African Republic. When the crisis erupted, the United Nations peacekeeping mission MINUSCA set up camp at the border. MINUSCA plays a central role in supporting UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's international protection mandate. By helping maintain a minimum level of security, the mission enables UNHCR staff and its partners to operate safely in Birao and along surrounding routes.
