From VOA Learning English, this is the Agriculture Report.
The town of Bouar is about 450 kilometers west of Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic. Thousands of people displaced by the violence in the country have come to the town seeking safety.
VOA reporter Bagassi Koura recently spent two weeks in the Central African Republic. She reports that Christians displaced by the fighting are struggling to get enough to eat. But the country's food crisis affects more than just people who fled the violence. Even if they are not displaced, many people in Bouar are hungry and need food aid.
Once a month, the United Nations World Food Program gives food to people in Bouar, people line up to wait for the food. Tensions grow as the hours pass. African Union soldiers are on guard near the line.
Madeleine Kim-Mboussa is among those waiting. She and her six children fled their village a few weeks ago after Seleka rebels attacked. She says that she could not stay in the village because the Seleka killed her whole family. That is why, she says, she came to Bouar.
Michel Sourou Baye has eight children. He has no job, no money and no way to feed his family. He says that many things have happened during the crisis, he and his family fled into the bush. Michel Sourou Baye says he has visited some family members and they are sick.
Time passes, finally the wait is over for Madeleine Kim-Mboussa. A worker calls her name, and she gets her food. She is given 50-kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of beans, and two liters of cooking oil.
But as she leaves she discovers her bag of beans have been stolen, other women help her capture the person who took it. With their help, Ms. Kim-Mboussa gets her bag of beans back. But then she discovers that her cooking oil has been stolen. A displaced woman Edwige Sonikpi helps her find the second thief.
Edwige Sonikpi says it's a war here, men rob us, they don't want to share, and we women are always the losers.
Madeleine Kim-Mboussa arrives home with all of the food she was given. She says if she had the food earlier, her children would not have suffered. But she also says she is pleased and happy, she says this is her lucky day. And she hopes she will be able to feed her family for another month.
And that's the VOA Learning English Agriculture Report. I'm Caty Weaver.

这里是美国之音慢速英语农业报道。
布阿尔镇距离中非共和国首都班基约450公里，该国成千上万因暴乱流离失所的人来到该镇寻求庇护。
美国之音记者Bagassi Koura最近在中非共和国呆了两周，她报道了因战乱而失去家园的基督徒苦苦找吃的果腹。但该国因粮食危机而受苦的人要多于逃避暴乱的人，尽管这些人没有流离失所，但布阿尔的很多人都没有吃的，需要粮食援助。
联合国粮食署每月都给布阿尔人提供粮食，人们排队等待食物。随着时间的流逝，局面越发紧张，非盟的士兵在队伍附近守卫。
排队等食物的人中有Madeleine Kim-Mboussa，她和6个孩子一周前因塞雷卡叛军袭击逃离村庄。她说塞雷卡杀死了她全家，所以她不能在村子待下去了。她说因此来到了布阿尔。
Michel Sourou Baye有8个孩子，他没有工作，没钱，也没办法养活家人。他说冲突期间发生了很多事，他和家人逃到丛林里，他说他看望了一些家人，他们都生病了。
时间在过去，终于轮到Madeleine Kim-Mboussa了。一个工人叫了她的名字，她得到了食物。她得到了50公斤大米，10公斤大豆和两公升的食用油。
但在她离开时，她发现那袋大豆被偷了，别的妇女帮助她找到小偷。在她们的帮助下，Kim-Mboussa要回了那袋大豆。但她发现食用油也被偷了，一位流离失所的妇女Edwige Sonikpi帮她找到第二个小偷。
Edwige Sonikpi说这是一场战争，男子强夺我们的东西，他们不想分享，所以我们妇女总是受损失。
Madeleine Kim-Mbouss带着得到的全部食物回到家里，她说如果早一点有食物，她的孩子们就不会受罪。但她说她很高兴，她说这是幸运的一天。她希望未来一个月能给家人提供上食物。
