People's Army for the Restoration of the Republic and Democracy

People's Army for the Restoration of the Republic and Democracy or PARRD is a rebel group operating in the Central African Republic (CAR). PARRD wants to overthrow current CAR President François Bozizé. PARRD has claimed responsibility for two major attacks, contributing to the influx of Central African refugees in southern Chad. During mid-October, 2006, fighting between PARRD and government troops escalated, [ [http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/CrisesArticle.aspx?storyId=L14362003&WTmodLoc=World-R5-Alertnet-6 "Central African govt warns of attacks in capital"] , "Reuters", October 14, 2006] and on October 15, the International Federation of Human Rights Leagues (FIDH) reported that 70,000 refugees have fled the CAR to Chad and Cameroon. FIDH official, Marceau Sivieudehe, stated that: "It's obvious that the civilian population is the main victim of such a chaotic situation ... [they] are living in an absolutely precarious situation." S/he criticized the lack of attention the crisis in the CAR has been receiving from the international community and warned of a subregional collapse that could impact the CAR, Chad, and Cameroon.
