00:00 We are in the Central African Republic, a country that has hardly known a day of peace
00:08 for several years after its independence.
00:11 For this, the United Nations has decided since 2014 to send blue helmets to maintain peace.
00:19 The Rwandan army is part of this mission.
00:22 The sun rises on Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic.
00:27 Everyone is impatiently waiting for the time to publish the provisional results of the presidential elections.
00:33 An hour that will arrive late at night, but which will relieve a large number of this population.
00:39 President Faustin Archange Toadera wins the victory.
00:44 The people are relieved.
00:46 I am very, very, very, very, very happy.
00:49 I don't even know what to say about it.
00:51 I am very happy because he is a president of peace and he is a president of the whole world.
00:57 But they are waiting for the elected president.
01:00 We need peace, especially us who sell things.
01:03 If there is no peace, how can we come here to settle down, to get money?
01:08 We, who don't even work in an office, we have families, children, parents at home.
01:16 We earn, we feed our families.
01:22 But if there is no peace, how can we come to Rwanda?
01:26 The United Nations found itself unable to maintain calm and peace
01:30 in this country that has only 4.6 million inhabitants and is as large as France.
01:36 The Rwandan government therefore decided to send a special forces battalion,
01:40 in bilateral agreement with the RCA,
01:42 to serve as a backup for the Blue Helmet and in case panic and violence arose during the elections.
01:49 How are you?
01:51 I am fine.
01:52 How are you?
01:53 I am fine.
01:54 I am always happy.
01:56 We have just arrived at the camp where we are staying, the Rwandan contingent.
02:01 We have just visited the Rwandan special forces camp,
02:07 which is here in bilateral agreement
02:11 with two main missions, which are the protection of the Rwandan contingent in MINUSCA
02:18 and the protection of the country in general.
02:21 These troops are really well trained.
02:24 They are special forces, as the name suggests.
02:27 It is to act in case there is a danger that arises somewhere.
02:33 Without waiting for the rules or the favor of MINUSCA to act.
02:38 So it's really trained for war.
02:41 The presence of the Rwandan army is congratulated by the Central African people.
02:49 I see that their intervention on this path sends a lot of change.
02:55 Their intervention is not like what we see before.
02:59 They work well and send security inside the country.
03:04 We were afraid when we saw that... and we too.
03:09 But for the moment, we live together.
03:12 Because of MINUSCA, especially the Rwandan military and the Rwandan police,
03:19 they help us to get along with the people here.
03:25 We are used to it.
03:27 When we see this election that has taken place, something has changed.
03:32 Because even the people who are here, we voted calmly, quietly.
03:39 Since the Rwandans have been here, our collaboration with them is good.
03:45 They came to help us, but we, the Central Africans, we don't understand.
03:52 Every time, the weapons... every time, the weapons are not good.
03:58 The country wants to stay calm.
04:01 This country, which is very rich in minerals, oil and diamonds, is among the poorest in the world.
04:08 Because of the professionalism of the local press, the population is also under-informed and the rumors often cause panic.
04:16 In Bangui, the tension is high. A simple road accident can trigger a riot.
04:22 The blue helmets play a very important role to calm the spirits.
04:25 Now, let's visit the Rwandan military base, the Rwandan Bat Seven, which welcomed us with open arms and will serve as an example.
04:34 It is the confidence they have in us in terms of security.
04:38 The owners came to ask us to keep their cars,
04:44 because they were worried that during the election period there could be violent periods or troubles in Bangui.
04:53 So, they trusted us.
04:56 They left their cars, even with the keys.
05:00 They said they would take them later.
05:04 So, this is considered the safest place in Bangui?
05:08 It is the analysis of the situation and security here.
05:12 So, they repair all the broken things.
05:20 Yes, even the clothes.
05:24 I am Dr. Didier Mandy, Captain. I am the Chief Doctor of this hospital.
05:37 We call it Rwandan Bat Seven Level 1 Hospital.
05:43 We have four doctors, nine nurses and seven paramedics.
05:50 We start with physiotherapy.
05:54 We do all kinds of kinesiologists, depending on the patient.
06:02 We also have a kinesiologist.
06:08 Then, we have our dentist and dentistry.
06:15 We do all kinds of dental procedures.
06:21 He is well equipped, as you can see.
06:25 This is our central pharmacy, where we keep our medicines.
06:31 So, you have information?
06:33 Yes, we have information that takes care of all of this.
06:37 So far, we have not yet received a patient who requires an intensive care unit.
06:42 We do tests before coming here.
06:46 All the medical staff here are really fit.
06:50 It's just superficial problems.
06:54 This is our laboratory.
06:59 We do tests for malaria, salt, urine, and also for COVID.
07:11 As you can see, we have all the equipment, helmets, and other protective equipment.
07:16 We also have rapid tests for that.
07:18 Hello, Doctor.
07:19 Hello.
07:20 How are you?
07:21 I'm fine.
07:22 I'm Adeline.
07:23 I'm Dr. Kahira.
07:25 We are in a very difficult time globally, which is the time of COVID-19.
07:30 I would say that this is a topic that concerns you the most,
07:36 which concerns the medical staff the most.
07:38 How do you deal with this COVID?
07:42 With COVID, what we do every day is mainly education.
07:46 We educate the military on morning meetings with the chiefs.
07:50 We talk to them about COVID and how we should protect ourselves
07:55 by wearing a mask, washing our hands, and using the hydroalcoholic solution.
08:01 We have it on us every day.
08:03 We have the solution on us that we use to clean our hands.
08:07 We also have masks.
08:09 And we talk to all the military every morning.
08:11 There are nurses who are in charge of each patrol,
08:15 in each company, to talk to them about COVID.
08:19 To educate...
08:21 I presume you are from the United Nations,
08:23 and you educate the population in some way.
08:25 At first, when we saw them wearing masks, they said,
08:28 "No, you are bringing us COVID, you are bringing this."
08:31 But as time goes by, we see them wearing masks every day.
08:34 We say, "Ah, Rwanda, you are wearing a mask."
08:37 We tell them, "Yes, we want to protect ourselves, but you should also protect yourself."
08:41 At the market, I try to buy a pair of shoes.
08:44 Look.
08:45 Listen, if it's tight, if your foot points here, how can you walk?
08:49 No, the foot points here, look.
08:51 But a sentence goes through my ear, and gives me another idea.
08:55 Military women.
08:57 A Central African man told one of the soldiers who escorted us
09:01 that military women are only present on the spot to cook and spend money on the minuscule.
09:07 This encourages me to portray military women in the mission to maintain peace.
09:11 It is with Lieutenant Annette Garambe that we will be able to explain
09:15 that gender equality is also respected in the military sector.
09:19 As you can see, this is the place where we used to do peacekeeping.
09:27 We used to do peacekeeping here, but we didn't do it anymore.

12:02 We have a lot of women in the office.

16:14 This is the city of Bangui.
16:18 You can see our vehicles on the other side.
16:22 They patrol here.
16:26 After a while, they come back.
16:30 They come back.
16:34 If there is something here in the city,
16:38 they come back here.
16:42 We have patrols here in the city.
16:46 They leave the city to go to the first roundabout.
16:50 They leave the city to go to the 7th roundabout.
16:54 They leave the city to go to the 7th roundabout.
16:58 They leave the city to go to the 7th roundabout.

17:26 This is the PK0.
17:30 This is the PK0.
17:34 This is the PK5.
17:38 This is the PK12.
17:42 This is the PK12.
17:54 This has changed a bit.
17:58 There are armed groups that want to take up positions or attack.
18:02 Our presence here is to ensure that the elections are held without incidents.
18:10 We have been working 24 hours.
18:14 We have elements everywhere in the city.
18:18 We have elements deployed to protect themselves and the population.
18:22 We have a training before coming here.
18:28 We have basic training at home.
18:32 We have a specific training for the mission.
18:36 We have a training for 5 months.
18:40 During this period, we have had the opportunity to learn even better how to work under the UN emblem.
18:48 What the UN is asking us to do.
18:52 How we can do it better.
18:56 Since we have been here, we have been able to stabilize.
19:00 There have been peaceful demonstrations, violent demonstrations.
19:04 But our city of Rwanda has been able to stabilize.
19:14 The population has always tended to support us and help us do our work better.
19:22 So far, we have done very well.
19:26 We have done what we had to do.
19:28 How does the Rwandan diaspora see the situation?
19:32 My impression is that this is a country that has a path where it must go.
19:40 But it has a lot of work to do.
19:44 We came here to support the development of the country.
19:50 We also do our trade.
19:52 What motivated me to come here?
19:56 First, I wanted a new field.
20:00 At home, I had done university.
20:04 I had finished civil engineering.
20:06 I worked in society.
20:08 I wanted to do trade in a big place.
20:10 I thought of two countries.
20:14 I saw that this is a country that is on the path of development.
20:16 That is still a little behind.
20:18 I could be interested in coming to work in it.
20:22 What was also a thought that came to my mind is that it has another force here.
20:28 For the first time in several years of insecurity,
20:32 the Central African Republic has had peaceful elections.
20:36 There was no fear or panic that overwhelmed its atmosphere.
