Central African activist Sosthène Marius Dingombé is questioning the spiritual meaning behind the deadly floods that have struck Bangui. He also raised issues of public responsibility, freedom of expression, and respect for religious beliefs.
In a Facebook statement titled "Bangui under water: beyond the natural disaster, what message should we hear?", Dingombé, who calls himself "the man of the peasant bourgeoisie", expressed his sympathy for those affected by the heavy rains.
The activist believes the disaster necessitates a reflection on the government's role in managing urban development, sanitation, and planning in Bangui. He stated that the questions Central Africans are asking about these issues are legitimate and require concrete answers.
