River Waiting

Caption

Villagers wait along the shores of one of the many rivers in the Central African Republic that lack bridges or functioning barges. Crossing is only possible using pirogues. The bad shape of the road and transportation network in the country hinders trade and exchange. A survey by researchers at UC Berkeley’s Human Rights Center found a high rate of mortality, depression and anxiety in the country.
