[HOT] Admin boundaries level 1, CAR - Lobaye missing in OSM

[Pierre Béland]

The OCHA COD FOD present boundaries that the Bangui office has worked on.
See https://cod.humanitarianresponse.info/search/field_country_region/central-african-republic/field_category/admin-level-1-boundaries-201

The problem with the COD FOD is that the data is gathered from various sources and that OCHA do not provide a publishing license compatible with OSM.

I can help to import the boundaries if we can find data with the appropriate license.

I just had a look at the data since I've worked on boundaries before. 
Unfortunately this seems to be pretty strange: Maplibrary shows quite 
different borders for Lobaye than NaturalEarth does. The Wikipedia 
article linked above shows the same outline as NaturalEarth. So I am not 
really sure which one is the correct one. I'd rather favor the outline 
from NaturalEarth.

Does anyone know more about this?

Michael
