  1. “To that end, it is necessary to work on improving humanitarian conditions through a comprehensive approach that addresses social and economic challenges and promotes the resilience of communities. In conclusion, the United Arab Emirates supports all efforts that seek to establish stability in the Central African Republic and stands in solidarity with its people in their quest for peace and prosperity.”

  2. “That is taking place at a time when nearly half a million people are internally displaced and refugees from neighbouring countries are also being hosted. In that context, I would like to emphasize the importance of ensuring that humanitarian assistance reaches those in need. We thank MINUSCA for its tireless efforts to facilitate access to humanitarian deliveries, secure sites for the displaced and refugees and help to build humanitarian infrastructure. We urge all relevant parties to facilitate the lifesaving work of humanitarian organizations and stress the importance of protecting humanitarian workers and United Nations personnel, in accordance with international humanitarian law.”

  3. “That is particularly important as the country gets ready to hold elections next year. We also stress the importance of continued regional support for peace efforts in the Central African Republic, including support from the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region. Furthermore, the engagement between the Government and neighbouring States to jointly address security concerns related to border security is an important step in maintaining the security of all States. Thirdly, special attention must be paid to the country’s dire humanitarian situation, with more than half of the population requiring humanitarian assistance while the country faces a sharp rise in fuel and basic commodity prices, exacerbating the difficult economic conditions.”

  4. “We emphasize the crucial role played by MINUSCA, especially with regard to the protection of civilians, working closely with the Government of the Central African Republic to address security threats. We also appreciate the sacrifices of the Mission’s forces in a difficult environment. In that regard, we look forward to engaging constructively in the upcoming negotiations on the Mission’s mandate. Secondly, it is important to prioritize inclusive dialogue through the implementation of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation and the joint road map for peace. Dialogue remains key to making progress towards national reconciliation and finding peaceful solutions to intercommunal tensions. Special attention must also be paid to the grave repercussions of hate speech and incitement to violence.”

  5. “The reporting period witnessed the continued activities of armed groups, which inflict harm on civilians across the Central African Republic, especially in the country’s eastern regions. In addition, the increased use of explosive ordnance continued to take a heavy toll on communities and to hinder efforts to protect civilians. The statistics on the overall impact on civilians of the security situation are shocking. Between 2021 and 2023, conflict-related sexual violence cases alone more than doubled as compared to the previous reporting period, while the number of grave violations against children almost tripled. Breaking the cycle of recurrent violence requires an urgent and comprehensive approach that focuses on preventing the further escalation of violence and addressing the root causes of the conflict.”

  6. “Ms. Harqoos (United Arab Emirates) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I thank Special Representative Rugwabiza for her informative briefing on the most recent developments in the Central African Republic. We also welcome the participation in this meeting of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Francophonie and Central Africans Abroad of the Central African Republic, Ms. Sylvie Valérie Baipo Temon, and the representative of the Republic of Angola. In the light of the recent developments in the Central African Republic and the activities of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), I will touch on the following three points. First, the protection of civilians must remain at the forefront of any security responses.”
