 | | Between 1998 and 2002, almost 150,000 people fled violence in the Pool region, seeking safety and shelter in neighboring villages and towns, and in some cases, making their way to Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo. |
 | | Since that time, the people of Pool have faced the daunting task of restoring their homes, their livelihoods, and their communities after several years of displacement, and in many cases, the complete destruction of their homes and villages. |
 | | This study, the first independent report on the humanitarian situation in Pool, sheds light on the impact of many years of war on those who survived, and the challenges they face as they start to rebuild their lives. |
