At a Southern Africa Liaison Office seminar, Bangui’s chief envoy to South Africa appeals for continued support from the international community.

Ambassador Andrè Nzapayeke says the people of the CAR will overcome their troubled past and build a peace.

But they cannot do this alone.

“We will need the help of the international community,” he says. “The road to the land of milk and honey is long and rough. So, please, all of you stand with us.”

He thanks those, including the United Nations, the South African Government and the International Committee of the Red Cross for their efforts in ending the suffering of his compatriots  who have become poor people in a country blessed with natural riches.
