How many people from South Sudan live in the Central African Republic?

According to the United Nations, 2,390 people from South Sudan live in the Central African Republic.

Therefore Central African Republic ranks number 9 among the destinations of the South Sudan diaspora.

In total, 3,170,000 people from South Sudan live abroad, and about 1% of them live in the Central African Republic.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from South Sudan in the Central African Republic

No community for people from South Sudan exists in the Central African Republic on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Bangui, and each one can host its community.

Joining the South Sudan community in the Central African Republic

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

South Sudan Independence Day in the Central African Republic

Every July 9, the national day brings the South Sudan diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
