After the independence in 1960, the country experienced long years of political stability. In December 1999, however, a coup d'etat confronted the country with a cycle of political violence which culminated in the civil war in 2002. The social trouble which worsened, disturbed the economic situation and undermined social cohesion. This situation has caused multiple disturbances, on several levels:                                                           

At the social level, we are witnessing the deterioration of the social and family tissu, intolerance, the disruption of the family and modern education system, ...

Economically, the deterioration of the domestic economic tissu is no longer to be demonstrated. The destruction of domestic and modern goods and tools of production leads to an impoverishment of the population.

In terms of health, we note that the modern and traditional healthcare system is disrupted.

Hundreds of thousands of students scattered throughout the secure part of the country have struggled to integrate into decent schools. Many ended up on the street. Others have fallen prey to the providers of child soldiers. In our area here, prostitution seems to no longer move anyone.

This war caused the total or partial closure of some schools and the destruction of others in the occupied areas - areas of which the Municipality of Bloléquin is a part. Young people, most of them students, decided to fight alongside the loyalist force to liberate the region. After the liberation of the region, another problem arose: the education and training of children, sometimes child soldiers.
