Séverin,
I have revised the text in both french and english. Instead of talking only of
Mali, I have modified to talk of african countries in general.

>Hi all,

>Bangui, the capital city of Central African Republic, has been taken over
>today by the Seleka rebels, three months after their coming from the northern
>part of the country. When they arrived close to Bangui in late December, we
>started a preparation, connecting with the humanitarian stakeholders there to
>identify both already affected towns as well as the ones prone to be, thanks
>to the EUROSHA volunteers that were deployed in Bangui (but obviously had to
>leave the country due this political crisis). Specific TM jobs have been
>created and partially completed, and an import process of the data provided by
>some stakeholders (eg UNICEF) have started.

>I just updated the OSM wiki page for CAR to coordinate the mapping goals as of
>today. Finishing both Bangui and secondary towns is one of them. Regarding the
>road network, I changed the former proposed typology by the one created for
>the Mali crisis. Indeed, the really impressive work made by the Hotties in
>charge of this activation apart, I really like this road typology that, IMHO,
>could be extended to the rest of Africa and maybe all the developing countries
>(what is the opinion from people experienced in other continents?). To involve
>more French speaking people, I translated it today. Pierre, might be good if
>you have a look on it to be sure I did not make any confusion.

>Some existing data, surveyed in the field by various humanitarian
>organizations, will be imported soon, providing health centers, schools, and
>watsan objects.
