[HOT] Request to add Central African Republic among the available countries in OSMAND

[Severin MENARD]

Dear Hrvoye,

Thank you very much for having added Mali, Chad and Burundi to the list of
countries to download in OSMAND.
Would it be possible to add the Central African Republic? We have a request
from MSF Spain (cced) that would make a great use of it in the field. The
crisis in Central African Republic is not mediatised at all, but the
population is facing some real issues, including hunger now (see this
article<http://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2013/07/09/la-penurie-alimentaire-menace-la-centrafrique_3445128_3212.html>from
Le Monde that you can easily read with an online translation)

Sincerely,

Severin
