  1. In all those efforts, we are more determined than ever to continue close cooperation and coordination with the United Nations, the African Union and ECCAS, as well as with all partners concerned, including neighbouring countries. Out actions will be taken in full transparency and we expect the same from all friends of the Central African Republic. It is up to the authorities to ensure that all actors are engaged in the same spirit and to the same ends.

  2. The entire international community must therefore remain mobilized and united and continue to provide an urgent and appropriate response to the pressing humanitarian needs of the Central African populations. The EU has been, is and will remain one of Central African Republic’s closest partners, working for peace and reconciliation, democracy and recovery. We have recently demonstrated that by providing decisive support for the elections. With all its tools and through its multidimensional action, the EU is committed to supporting the country on the difficult path of reform. We will do so in the service of the Central African population, through a respectful and demanding dialogue based on trust with the Central African authorities and on the basis of reciprocal commitments.

  3. We have noted the authorities’ decision to establish a commission to investigate those violations and expect full transparency from them. Those responsible for serious human rights violations must be brought to justice. We take this opportunity to express our full support for MINUSCA, in particular in the face of the attacks and access restrictions that it has faced in discharging its mandate. Those profound concerns and significant expectations were expressed in a clear, strong and united manner by the partners during our joint visit to Bangui. Concrete actions and tangible gestures are now expected from the authorities. The Central African Republic remains an extremely fragile country, facing an acute humanitarian crisis.

  4. We welcome the public condemnation of disinformation by President Touadera and the President of the National Assembly, as well as the reaffirmation of their attachment to cooperation with international partners. But strong and visible measures are now expected to bring that disinformation to an end definitively and build mutual trust. We are also deeply concerned about the excessive use of force, which jeopardizes the authorities’ investment in promoting social cohesion and expanding State authority, as well as the reported violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, not only by armed groups but also by the Central African armed forces and some of their allies. Such actions are unacceptable.

  5. It should be accompanied by greater inclusion and a larger role for civil society, especially women and young people, and political parties. In that regard, we support the renewed efforts of our partners in the region, the AU, ECCAS and the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region, and we encourage the harmonization of the initiatives under way. Despite these developments, I would like to highlight several elements of particular concern that continue to weigh on the current political situation. Disinformation campaigns, pressure on the opposition and the media, hate speech and incitement to violence against partners such as the EU, France and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) must stop.

  6. The participation of Central African society in all its diversity is also essential. The European Union is available to provide advice, support and expertise as part of its mediation assistance. Lastly, we welcome President Touadera’s commitment to the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic, which is the only common and viable framework. The effective implementation of the recommendations made during its evaluation must be ensured by involving all the signatories and in close coordination with the guarantors, facilitators and partners. A lasting solution to the crisis cannot be solely military. Dialogue among the parties and the re-engagement of all — the Government and the armed groups willing to remain in or return to the process after renouncing violence — is also necessary.

  7. Despite the threats posed by armed groups, constitutional order has been maintained, the electoral process has been able to proceed, leading to the re-election of President Touadera, and a new Prime Minister has been appointed. However, many challenges remain and the high expectations of the population, including the minority communities, must be met immediately. Urgent reforms should be rapidly implemented. We look forward to close cooperation with international partners and remain ready to provide our support. We also welcome the announcement that a credible and inclusive national dialogue will soon be held. That is the only way to find a lasting solution to the crisis. The authorities must create the conditions for the political opposition to find its rightful place in that dialogue.

  8. After my most recent statement in February (see S/2021/187, annex III), I am honoured to be here once again on behalf of the European Union (EU), which, as the Security Council knows, has been particularly involved in the Central African Republic for years. I would like to share our assessment of both the progress made since then and the major challenges still facing the country. Moreover, I had the opportunity to talk directly with the Central African authorities during the recent joint visit of the United Nations, the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). Those messages were also conveyed bilaterally by the EU.
