The socio-economic impact of the international community’s presence in Abéché

18/12/2009

In order to respond to the situation in Eastern Chad, most humanitarian agencies have set up offices in Abéché. The large number of humanitarian and military actors who have moved into the city since 2006 have had a significant socio-economic impact, further deterioring the living conditions of a large proportion of the population. The fact that they do not benefit from any of the humanitarian operations being run makes this situation all the more frustrating for them.
