New report: “Live off the land and die for it”
Based on two years of investigation, three field missions and more than a hundred interviews with survivors, witnesses and key actors, this report shows how impunity and inaction by the authorities fuel a cycle of reprisals.
You will find in it:
- an in-depth analysis of the causes of the conflict;
- stories of inhabitants who have lost everything;
- the direct consequences of the State’s inaction;
- Clear recommendations to protect communities.
Act now
Between 2022 and 2024, the provinces of Moyen-Chari, Mandoul, Logone Oriental and Logone Occidental were hit by violent attacks between farmers and herders. In the cases documented by Amnesty International alone, nearly 100 people have been killed, families have been forced to flee and more than 600 homes have been burned.
Tensions are exacerbated by the scarcity of arable land and water points, climate degradation, and the uncontrolled flow of weapons.
But what makes this crisis so deadly is the inaction of the state.
In several documented cases, the security forces arrived too late. In others, they have not acted at all, leaving people unprotected during attacks.
