kaga bandoro is a divided city. the small river that flows through its geographic center serves as the border. the center in the northern districts is in the hands of a muslim rebel militia called sÉleka. the southern districts are occupied by their largely christian opponents, known as the anti-balaka. many houses are deserted here. next to that are the un barracks. the kaga bandoro refugee camp grew up next to its protective fence. the blue helmets took up positions on the city's only bridge in an attempt to keep the two warring sides apart. but the raids continue. there are around 12,500 un soldiers in the country. only a few residents have dared to return to their homes. florentin dambÉti lives in a hut built amidst the wreckage of his former farm, which was destroyed by the sÉleka. >> i can't sleep here anymore. a woman was robbed here yesterday. someone robbed her of 25,000 francs. i spoke with the authorities about the security situation here. it's not safe in this part of the city. >> donaig de lu has worked
