“Past and recurrent political and security crises in the Central Africa Republic, have negatively impacted transhumance, turning secular practice into one of the main triggers of attacks against civilians. The recent killing of 16 civilians in Limé village in Ouham -Pendé prefecture, following a land conflict involving local farmers and cattle owners, was a stark reminder of the urgency to reverse the dynamics of violence and to reposition livestock farming and transhumance as factors of peaceful coexistence, stabilization and economic development.”
