In the aftermath of a disputed December election, the Central African Republic fractured into violence, sending more than 200,000 people fleeing their homes in a matter of weeks. Nearly half crossed into the Democratic Republic of Congo — itself already burdened by displacement and crisis — carrying little more than the instinct to survive. It is a pattern humanity has witnessed too many times: political rupture becoming human catastrophe, with civilians absorbing the full weight of choices made by those who hold power.
