Sammendrag
This piece of Research work is based on investigating the situation of the refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) fleeing violence, torture, religious and ethnic segregation for safety into Cameroonian Eastern Region. The thesis explores and analysis the efforts by the Catholic Caritas in Cameroon, and the Catholic Relief Service in responding to the crisis specifically on the Christian approaches of Reconciliation, Empowerment, and Transformation. These three Christian values shall be utilized as the key theories in examining the efforts of the Caritas Cameroon and the Catholic Relief Services in addressing the phenomenon in question. It shall also look into the efforts made by some International partners like the UNHCR, the host country’s efforts, some Non-governmental organizations, and a few faith-based organizations which are not Catholic based, like the Lutheran World Federation.
