“On behalf of the African Union, I take this opportunity to thank the countries of the region, MINUSCA, the Economic Community of Central African States, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, the European Union and other international partners for the cooperation among our various organizations and for their support to the Central African Republic. We implore them to continue their solidarity with the country. I cannot end my remarks without paying tribute to my dear brother His Excellency Mr. Mankeur Ndiaye for his decisive role at the head of MINUSCA for the past three years. I have been in daily contact with him, which has been characterized by courtesy, candour and respect. That has helped the African Union and MINUSCA to engage in robust cooperation as we seek to achieve our respective objectives.”

“In conclusion, looking ahead, I would like to underscore that taking specific measures to ensure the successful implementation of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic and the joint road map; the timely holding of the inclusive republican dialogue; the dissolution of armed groups and continued disarmament, demobilization and reintegration initiatives, in particular the operationalization of the mixed security units; the promotion of improved regional cooperation on peace initiatives and in the area of cross-border security and collaboration on efforts to stabilize the Central African Republic; cooperation and harmonization of positions among the various stakeholders and international partners of the Central African Republic; the prosecution of those in violation of human rights law and international humanitarian law; and the participation of all partners of the Central African Republic in post-conflict reconstruction, without neglecting humanitarian needs — those are all priorities that can help the Central African Republic once and for all turn the page on perpetual political and military instability and embark upon the path of peace, stability and effective economic revitalization.”

“Situations of armed conflict and respect for human rights are often uneasy bedfellows, and the Central African Republic is no exception. The African Union would like to express its deep concern about reports of gross human rights violations perpetrated against civilians, in particular in areas in which military operations are under way. In the same vein, the use of landmines and improvised explosive devices against the contingents of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) and civilians is also a reprehensible act that the African Union strongly condemns. Such acts should be meticulously documented so that political and judiciary responsibility is brought to bear to allow perpetrators and their accomplices to be identified.”

“Nonetheless, as underscored several times by its Peace and Security Council, the African Union remains convinced that a military solution to the current political and military crisis in the Central African Republic, as promoted by some stakeholders, risks becoming a mirage if it is not accompanied by a political compromise or consensus. The consequences of such violence have had a negative impact on the civilian population, who, in addition to suffering reprisals and forced displacement, find themselves in a very vulnerable situation and face food insecurity. Approximately 2.5 million people, more than half of the population of the Central African Republic, are without adequate humanitarian assistance due to, inter alia, the inaccessibility of certain sites for displaced persons.”

“It is worth pointing out that, despite this glimmer of hope regarding the implementation of the Agreement, its completion and the prospect of a national dialogue being held in the near future, developments in the security situation are still marked by the ongoing challenges in reducing the capacity of armed groups, which continue to pose a threat to the Central African Republic and the region, as evidenced by the persistent tensions and the continued presence of armed groups, especially in the north-western, northern and central areas of the Central African Republic. In addition, there are several illegal cross-border activities. In military terms, the offensive by the Forces armées centrafricaines, supported by bilateral forces, is under way and seeks to decrease the potential trouble-making of armed groups.”

“In that regard, it is important that coordination between the mechanisms for implementing and monitoring the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic and the joint road map be further strengthened, bearing in mind the role of the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States and the countries of the subregion as guarantors and facilitators of the Political Agreement.”

“The ceasefire declaration by the President of the Central African Republic on 14 October 2021, calling for an end to military operations and all armed action throughout the territory, was a positive effort to strengthen stability and security in the Central African Republic. That ceasefire measure was short- lived, although it encouraged a process of spontaneous demobilization, which may serve as a springboard for DDR priorities. It is clear that, as long as there is no ceasefire or cessation of hostilities, the DDR process will not be effective. In the same vein, the follow-up meeting of the Luanda process, held in Bangui on 14 January, made it possible to take stock of the objectives of that joint road map and the concrete actions related to it.”

“I would like to welcome the initiative of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region and the efforts made in the context of the joint road map to mobilize, in the broadest sense, the subregion in promoting dialogue in the Central African Republic, more specifically regarding contacts with the leaders of the Coalition des patriotes pour le changement (CPC), the regrouping of its combatants and its disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) within the broader context of the Central African Government’s national DDR programme. For the African Union, the joint road map plays a critical role in expediting the implementation of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation, particularly with regard to the conduct of the CPC and its leaders.”

“At the twelfth ordinary meeting of the Executive Monitoring Committee, held on 14 February, the Government, the armed groups, civil society representatives and the guarantors and facilitators of the peace agreement took stock of the progress and challenges relating to its implementation. The overall assessment is positive in terms of respect for the commitments of the Government and the armed groups set out in articles 4 and 5, respectively, of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation. However, what remains to be done in the context of the implementation of the Agreement is still very important and should not be overlooked.”

“In the same vein, expectations remain just as high for the Central African Republic, which is continuing the country’s democratization phase after the presidential and legislative elections of 2020 and 2021 and is making further progress towards the holding of regional and municipal elections, scheduled for September this year. In terms of the peace process, three years have passed since the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic was signed between the Government and 14 armed groups in Bangui on 6 February 2019. We have continued to take a critical and objective look at the progress in implementing the Political Agreement.”

“Although a large part of the budget is provided by the Central African Government, contributions from partners are eagerly awaited. While awaiting agreement on the date of the national dialogue, much remains to be done regarding some important issues, including the topics, the presidium of the national dialogue and the list of participants. The African Union therefore calls on all partners of the Central African Republic to continue to provide their material and technical support for the timely holding of the dialogue and for its success.”

“The African Union has taken careful note of the return of the representatives of the democratic opposition and the resumption of the work of the organizing committee for the national dialogue on 9 February after more than three months of deadlock. The African Union supports the continuation of the work of the organizing committee for the national dialogue and sincerely hopes that the dialogue will be held during the planned period, from 14 to 21 March. Allow me to commend the efforts of religious leaders, civil society groups, women and young people who are sparing no efforts and continue to work to raise awareness among the population towards their active participation in this dialogue and peace and reconciliation in the Central African Republic. Meanwhile, the funding of the national dialogue remains a challenge.”

“In the current context, where the Central African Republic is eagerly waiting to hold a national dialogue, it is fitting to welcome the consensus dynamic that prevailed during the consultations between the Central African authorities and the political parties of the opposition, including those grouped within the main political opposition platform, the Coalition of Democratic Opposition 2020. Today that compromise seems to be mutual in order to maintain the possibility of a viable dialogue based on positive outcomes for a common, peaceful and harmonious future during the meetings planned for March, which we hope will result in concrete solutions and create conditions of hope for all Central Africans.”

“There are many issues, linked in particular to the political tensions surrounding the preparations for the national dialogue, that have highlighted the need for the stakeholders to show a genuine spirit of cooperation in order to achieve a widely accepted compromise and bring the crisis to a definitive end. It is important to stress that, despite the efforts made by the political and social actors in the Central African Republic and the Government’s policy of reaching out, tensions between the main political and social actors persist.”

“Mr. Matondo: (spoke in French): I have the honour to express my deep gratitude for this opportunity to address this important meeting of the Security Council, the convening of which once again attests to the Council’s ongoing interest in the development of the situation in the Central African Republic, where peace and security continue to be a prerequisite that merits our full attention. The African Union’s assessment of the current situation in the Central African Republic is made through the lens of the main developments that have taken place, particularly at the political level, the preparations for the national dialogue, the security situation and the ongoing efforts in the pursuit of peace and stability in the Central African Republic, which cannot be overlooked given that they remain key priorities.”
2022-02-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8971 (2022) · source
“The situation deserves the attention of the Council, in particular with regard to concerns about improving the security situation, securing the electoral process, funding the elections, ensuring that parties honour their commitments, enforcing the sanctions regime, holding elections in line with constitutional deadlines, launching social projects as peace dividends and mechanisms for the uptake and reorientation of former combatants of armed groups into more useful social activities.”

“Such cooperation has been an integrating and catalysing factor for the implementation of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic and must be welcomed and maintained. Similarly, the harmonization of positions among the other parties to the peace and reconstruction process in the Central African Republic remains a considerable challenge. I have provided a brief overview of the situation in the Central African Republic and the efforts of the African Union.”

“We underscore the role that the countries of the subregion must play to help stabilize the situation in the Central African Republic, in particular since the conflict could very easily spill over to the rest of Central Africa. It is important to underscore the very active cooperation and coordination among the United Nations, the African Union and the European Union, as highlighted by the African Union Commission Chairperson, Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, and Secretary-General Mr. António Guterres during the opening ceremony of the thirty-third ordinary session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, held a few days ago in Addis Ababa.”

“It is for that reason that the National Assembly opened an extraordinary session yesterday, 19 February, to review and adopt the draft texts envisioned in the peace agreement that relate to the status of former Heads of State, the charter of political parties, the status of the opposition, the commission on truth, justice, reparation and reconciliation and the municipalities code, among others. The seventh session of the Executive Monitoring Committee of the agreement, scheduled for 28 February, will certainly not only help us to assess the Committee’s functioning, but also and above all show us all remaining challenges in the implementation of the agreement.”

“Although the situation in Birao is under control, tensions remain high in the north-east of the country, including in Bria and Ndélé. Those areas require considerable attention from facilitators, guarantors and the various partners working for peace in the Central African Republic. In addition, we acknowledge the serious humanitarian situation in the three areas of Birao, Ndélé and Bria. Despite all the difficulties, which are a source of concern with regard to creating the right conditions for the holding of free and credible elections, efforts continue for the implementation of all aspects of the peace agreement, which is the best political framework for stabilizing the situation in the Central African Republic.”

“In that regard, we welcome the convergence of views and unanimity of the international community, which, on the first anniversary of the agreement, took the opportunity to reaffirm its willingness to assist the Central African Republic in ensuring that elections take place within constitutional deadlines, and its readiness to mobilize financial resources and the technical wherewithal to attain that objective. The security situation remains of concern, in particular given the clashes between the FPRC and the MLCJ to gain control of Birao. In the second week of February, the forces of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, working together with the Armed Forces of the Central African Republic, repulsed FPRC combatants who had entered Birao.”

“Overall, although progress has been made over the past year, much remains to be done in connection with the linked legislative and presidential elections in 2020 and 2021. In that regard, signatories to the agreement must fully honour their commitments in order to create conditions conducive to the holding of elections. Over the past year since the agreement was signed, the signatories were strongly urged to uphold their commitments. Those who attended the event to commemorate the first anniversary of the signing of the agreement called for the sanctions under article 35 to be applied and demanded that we be firm with any parties that breach the agreement.”

“However, many challenges remain because the majority of armed groups have not yet laid down their weapons and continue to occupy territories and exploit natural resources to the detriment of the State. Moreover, certain armed groups that are signatories to the agreement continue to be involved in clashes in an effort to exert control over areas in the interior of the country. That is the case of the Front populaire pour la renaissance de la Centrafrique (FPRC) and the Mouvement des libérateurs centrafricains pour la justice (MLCJ) in Vakaga, in north-eastern Central African Republic. Clashes between the armed groups in the north-east have devolved into intercommunal conflict, which, although complex, urgently needs to be resolved.”

“With regard to the progress made concerning the armed groups, it is a matter of renouncing their desire to divide up the territory of the Central African Republic, their recognition of State authority and its institutions, the adherence of certain groups to the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process, the operationalization of the special mixed security units, and vacating the administrative buildings held by certain armed groups. Generally speaking, with the signing and implementation of the agreement, we note an improvement in the security situation, a decrease in the level of violence and an uptick in the free movement of goods and people.”

“With regard to progress vis-à-vis the Government, it is important to highlight the establishment of various entities for the implementation and monitoring of the agreement, the formation of an inclusive Government, the opening of permanent dialogue with the armed groups, the implementation of specific security measures relative to the launching of the special mixed security units in the west, the drafting of several bills envisaged by the agreement and their transmission to the National Assembly for adoption, the gradual return of State authority throughout the entire country, the launch of preparations for the electoral process, including updating the country’s electoral map, the launch of several social impact projects under the National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan, and the gradual modernization of the Central African Armed Forces and the internal security forces.”

“Twelve months after the signing of the agreement, there was neither pomp or circumstance at the ceremony held in Bangui, which was attended by the signatory parties, members of the Government and its institutions, the guarantors and facilitators of the agreement, and former Heads of State of the Central African Republic — all of whom came to witness that historic moment to express their commitment to achieving peace and national reconciliation. After a year since the agreement’s implementation, I am pleased to deliver the following statement by recalling the progress made and the many challenges that remain to be met under the peace agreement.”

“Allow me, in my capacity as African Union Special Representative and Head of the African Union Office in the Central African Republic, to express my deep gratitude for this opportunity to address the members of the Security Council, who are once again demonstrating their continued interest in issues relating to peace and security in the Central African Republic and the subregion of Central Africa. In February, we welcomed with guarded optimism the first anniversary of the signing of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic.”

“Our final recommendation is that the Council lead the call for the strengthening of humanitarian assistance in the fight against malnutrition and for the reintegration of displaced persons and refugees. We commend the countries of the subregion that have kindly included the search for a peaceful and lasting solution to the crisis in the Central African Republic on their agendas. I would also like to reiterate my thanks to the United Nations for its contribution and cooperation with the African Union in the peace and stabilization process in the Central African Republic. Finally, I take this opportunity to commend all partners of the Central African Republic for their readiness and assistance in the implementation of the agreement and development projects in the country.”

“We also recommend that the Council further mobilize resources for the effective operationalization of the agreement's implementation and monitoring mechanism for preparations for the forthcoming elections; intensify efforts to popularize the agreement among the armed groups of all political forces active in the Central African Republic so that they appropriate and fully adhere to its letter and spirit; urge all such forces to refrain from committing acts that are detrimental to social cohesion and national reconciliation; reinforce the mechanisms for transitional justice and the truth, justice, reparations and reconciliation commission in order to put up a firm fight against all forms of impunity; and help the subregion become more involved in the quest for a peaceful and lasting solution to the crisis in the Central African Republic, in particular by reactivating bilateral mixed commissions.”

“Against that backdrop, and taking into account the progress made as well as the difficulties encountered by the guarantors and facilitators, including the main challenges to implementation, we would like to make the following recommendations to the Security Council: to appeal to the international community regarding the need to mobilize the necessary resources for the reconstruction of the Central African Republic and the implementation of labour-intensive development projects; to encourage the Government of the Central African Republic to maintain the same spirit of openness and dialogue with armed groups and all stakeholders in Central African society; to maintain the framework of dialogue with armed groups by, among other things, exerting political pressure on them to respect their commitments; and to ensure all the necessary conditions for the swift initiation of the national DDR programme and the formation of the Unites speciales mixtes de securite.”
2019-06-20 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8558 (2019) · source
“There are also the challenges of mobilizing sufficient resources required to operationalize the mechanism for the implementation and monitoring of structures relating to the peace agreement; creating conditions conducive to the effective implementation of the agreement, especially with regard to DDR and the setting up of the Unites speciales mixtes de securite; fostering a climate of peace and national solidarity among all Central Africans; preventing the emergence of new armed and political groups hostile to peace and stability within the country; and, finally, establishing favourable conditions for the holding of the upcoming elections, while taking into consideration time constraints and others related to limited material resources.”

“Similar efforts are being made by the guarantors and facilitators with regard to the other leaders of armed groups - including Ali Darassa of the Unite pour la paix en Centrafrique on 12 June - to remind them of the need to respect their commitments in the framework of the implementation of the agreement. We should nevertheless note the constructive attitude of certain armed groups, such as the Front populaire pour la renaissance de la Centrafrique, which is committed to removing all its illegal barriers and releasing the buildings it continues to occupy illegally in the areas under its control.”

“The secondjoint meeting of the Government, the guarantors and the facilitator with Mr. Abass was held on 18 June in Bocaranga, just two days ago, during which he affirmed his adherence to the peace process; his commitment to the implementation of the agreement, especially with regard to the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of all of the group's elements as from 29 June; his active participation in the formation of the Unites speciales mixtes de securite' and his commitment to search for all alleged perpetrators of the May 21 massacre and hand them over to the competent authorities.”
2019-06-20 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8558 (2019) · source
“The main demands conveyed to him following the massacre in Paoua were that he arrest and indict the perpetrators of the massacre, as well as those who absconded from the competent authorities, so that they might be tried and punished in accordance with the law; that he dismantle all barriers and military bases associated with the group; that he enrol individual combatants in the national disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programme; and that he cooperate fully with the competent authorities and the agreement guarantors to combat impunity. The Mouvement pour le retour, reclamation et rehabilitation has recently shown its willingness to cooperate by identifying three perpetrators of the tragedy in Paoua, but we are still awaiting news on the whereabouts ofother suspects.”

“The actions of the guarantors and facilitators following the tragedy on 21 and 22 May included three joint missions made up by the Government, the guarantors, including the African Union and the Economic Community of Central African States, and facilitators, including the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, to visit the areas in question and gain insight into the events, support and comfort the population and alleviate tensions. They also met with the leader of the Mouvement pour le retour, reclamation et rehabilitation, Mr. Sidiki Abass, to hear his version ofthe facts and to communicate the requirements of the Government and the guarantors to the agreement.”

“As for the steps taken by the guarantors and facilitators to the agreement, we would like to highlight the consultations convened by the Chairperson of the African Union Commission from 18 to 20 March, with a view to finding a solution to the crisis following the formation of the first inclusive Government on 3 March. The tripartite African Union-European Union-United Nations deployed a mission from 14 to 18 April to evaluate the agreement and advocate for inviting all political forces across the nation to join and support the agreement. A second meeting of the International Support Group for the Central African Republic was held on 17 April, with a view to harmonizing the interventions of the various actors and mobilizing resources in support of the agreement.”

“Despite the strong pressure on the Government and the guarantors and facilitators to the agreement to confront the perpetrators of the massacre directly, thus far they have shown wisdom in using the crisis- resolution mechanism provided for in the agreement. Furthermore, the training and deployment of the Unite's speciales mixtes de securite could serve to rein in once and for all the causes of the recurring conflict between herders and farmers in certain regions of the country. It is also worth noting that, in the light of the upcoming elections, some people could exploit this most unfortunate event by politicizing it.”

“The most serious, and intolerable, violation of the agreement took place on 21 and 22 May in the communes of Koundjili, Bohong and Lemouna, in the prefecture of Ouham-Pende', where more than 40 people were massacred by members of the Mouvement pour le retour, reclamation et rehabilitation, supposedly in retaliation after several Peul herders were killed during an incident of cattle raiding. It should be pointed out that the massacre seriously undermined the peace agreement, to the extent where it gave certain elements of the media and parties to the agreement an opportunity to further disparage it.”
2019-06-20 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8558 (2019) · source
“Indeed, cases of violations of non-compliance with the implementation of the agreement continue to occur on the ground, and mostly involve violations and abuses against civilian populations and humanitarian workers, sexual violence against women and girls, obstruction of the free movement of persons and goods, the erection of barriers and the collection of illegal taxes, a failure to return public buildings and military camps and the theft of livestock.”

“In terms of security, since the signing of the agreement, there has been an overall decrease in tension and in the number of clashes between armed groups and the Central African Armed Forces, supported by the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), despite a few regrettable cases of assassination, rape and theft of livestock, especially in the west, north and east of the country. As for the difficulties encountered, while the Government can be pleased with the efforts made to honour commitments, the armed groups for their part are not really enthusiastic. The update on the implementation of the agreement made by the Executive Monitoring Committee during its three working meetings indicated that the results remain far from what was hoped for or expected.”

“Firmin Ngrebada, on 25 February, and the formation of an inclusive Government, on 22 March, after the rejection of a first Government deemed less inclusive by the parties to the agreement. In terms of monitoring the agreement, I would note the adoption of all the regulatory texts setting up the monitoring implementation mechanism as well as the structures provided for by the agreement and the operationalization of the structures for the implementation and monitoring mechanism, including the Executive Monitoring Committee, which has already held three meetings, the Technical Secretariat to support the Executive Monitoring Committee, and the National Implementation Committee, the Prefectural Implementation Committee and the Technical Security Committee, which are currently being set up.”

“An initial signing ceremony of the agreement concluded between the parties took place on 5 February in Khartoum, followed by a formal signing ceremony by the parties on 6 February in Bangui. Against that backdrop, the topic it is my honour to address in the Security Council today is the status of the implementation of the agreement, in particular with regard to the progress achieved, the difficulties encountered, the actions taken by the guarantors and the facilitators, the main challenges and recommendations. With regard to the progress made as of20 June, much more has been achieved by the Government. To date, four months after the signing of the agreement, I would note at the political level, for information purposes, the appointment ofa Prime Minister, Mr.”

“First of all, in my capacity as Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for the Central African Republic and Central Africa, I would like to highlight what an honour it is to be able to review the situation in the Central African Republic four months after the signing of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic. The political dialogue process led by the African Union through the African Initiative for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic was completed at the end of 2018, paving the way for talks in Khartoum between the Government of the Central African Republic and the armed groups. The talks began on 25 January and ended on 5 February this year with an agreement between the Government and the 14 armed groups.”
