“Consequently, through me, the Government and the people of the Central African Republic reiterate their request for the lifting of the arms embargo. We continue to call for the unanimous and tireless support of all members of the Security Council for lasting peace and security in the Central African Republic.”

“It is our assessment that, with the legendary wisdom of the Security Council, another review of the sanctions regime is possible given the efforts made to achieve the objectives and indicators set for us. We call on the Security Council to evaluate, with considerable flexibility, the burden of the embargo regime in order to take into account the requisite effectiveness of our defence and security forces to tackle any sudden threat and not to depend exclusively on bilateral arrangements so as to guarantee the territorial integrity of one of the most fragile regions of the continent. Members can count on our solemn commitment before the Security Council to accelerate the achievement of the objectives, criteria and benchmarks.”

“That mandate is still essential to the political and peace processes, as well as the protection of the civilian population and the unrestricted provision of humanitarian assistance. It will be equally essential to the conduct of electoral activities and the security of local elections, which are at the heart of the Political Agreement. I appeal to the members of the Security Council to unanimously renew the strengthened mandate of MINUSCA. It follows from my introductory statement that tangible progress is being made and political perspectives are being developed with all stakeholders, in consultation with all regional organizations and international partners.”

“Our will to put an end to chronic impunity is clearly visible through the gradual implementation of transitional justice mechanisms, such as the Truth, Justice, Reparation and Reconciliation Commission and the Special Criminal Court. More recently, following the publication of the report on human rights violations by MINUSCA and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, we set up a special commission of inquiry, whose conclusions will receive all the judicial follow-up that they deserve. We will continue our efforts and work closely with MINUSCA to preserve the security gains made, including in the extension of State authority and the safeguarding of territorial integrity, in cooperation with all States of the subregion.”

“Such a collective effort requires a favourable political and security climate, which we intend to consolidate through the recommendations that will result from the “republican dialogue”. Consequently, through the “republican dialogue” and by revitalizing the Political Agreement, including the joint road map, we could together achieve the progress expected by the civilian population, who are suffering from violence, the refugees and displaced persons, who aspire to a free and safe return, our businesses for the revival of the economy and our households for access to basic social services. In doing that, we do not intend to ignore human rights violations and other serious crimes, because justice is also a social demand to be met.”

“My ceasefire declaration illustrates once again, if need be, that we have no other ambition than to remobilize all Central Africans to explore a lasting political solution to the crisis that we are experiencing. Successful political and peace processes are therefore both an imperative for inclusive democratic governance and a strategic priority that cuts across all our public policies, given the comprehensive nature of the Political Agreement and the joint road map, which include institutional reforms, including achieving SSR, public security through DDRR and the transformation of armed groups, the disbanding of which remains an essential objective, as well as decentralization and participatory local development.”

“For my part, I have instructed my Government to assess the needs in order to estimate the resources required for the implementation of all the provisions of the road map and the Political Agreement of 6 February 2019, since a delay in funding for implementation would be detrimental to the preservation of those agreements. To that end, I depend on any help that the members of the Security Council can give, together with the assistance of the organizations and States of the region and the leadership of MINUSCA, in mobilizing the concrete support of the Secretary-General through the implementation of his mandate and the remobilization of international partners.”

“Fifthly, a border security strategy must be developed to ensure that Central African Republic territory is not used as a haven for illegal activities in the region. Sixthly, there must be a political process and a focus on restoring State authority and supporting the “republican dialogue”. On 15 October, I declared a unilateral ceasefire and an end to military operations, in accordance with the joint road map. I count on the support of the members of the Security Council in safeguarding the integrity of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation and the joint road map, which cannot succeed without the responsibility of the signatories and the attendant accountability of all parties.”

“Secondly, the Government must declare a ceasefire to reduce the suffering of civilians, restore confidence among the parties and facilitate the free movement of people and goods, as well as enable the necessary security conditions for the delivery of humanitarian aid. Thirdly, the disarmament, demobilization, repatriation and reintegration (DDRR) process must be implemented, with an emphasis on the socioeconomic reintegration of former combatants and mobilization of the necessary resources, with the support of the ICGLR and the Economic Community of the Central African States. Fourthly, security sector reform (SSR) must take place to support the establishment of a professional national army and continued efforts to lift the United Nations arms embargo.”

“We also supported the initiative of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), which, with the direct involvement of the President of Angola, Mr, João Lourenço, and the support of the States of the region, whom I thank in passing, led to the adoption of the joint road map for peace in the Central African Republic by the Heads of State and Government of the ICGLR on 16 September. The joint road map, which is part of revitalizing the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic, refocuses critical priorities around the following six strategic factors. The first priority is the commitment by armed groups to an immediate cessation of hostilities, the withdrawal of their leaders from Central African Republic territory and engagement in the country’s peace process.”

“However, it has never been our choice to pursue an exclusive military approach indefinitely. That is why the doors to a “republican dialogue” with the political parties and negotiation with the leaders of the armed groups of the CPC have never been closed. Our military posture, the effective implementation of the MINUSCA mandate and our openness to dialogue remain the mix that has enabled us to implement the electoral calendar. Just after the presidential election was held, in conjunction with finalizing the legislative elections, I therefore initiated consultations for an inclusive “republican dialogue” with all the political stakeholders of the Central African nation.”

“With these strategic options, we were able to optimize the protection of civilian populations, support the provision of humanitarian assistance and the secure the presidential and legislative elections, with the help of MINUSCA forces, on the one hand, and bilateral forces and the Forces armées centrafricaines, on the other, which, together with the support of instructors from the Russian Federation and forces from Rwanda, invested in operations designed to curb the threats of the CPC and reclaim portions of territory under occupation, so as to restore the territorial integrity and authority of the State. This division of labour was the best way for us to take into account the specificity of the rules of engagement and the mandate of MINUSCA and optimize the complementarity of the forces involved.”

“Properly sizing up this situation and taking into account the constitutional powers conferred on me for safeguarding territorial integrity and protecting the institutions of the Republic, people and property, I decided to call upon Russian instructors and Rwandan bilateral forces within the framework of our bilateral agreements — and thanks to the authorization of the Security Council. Accordingly, I would like to reiterate the thanks of the Central African people, because the arrival of the bilateral forces allowed us to readjust our security options around two major strategic axes, which proved conclusive in the light of the results observed.”

“As we were all focused on the implementation in good faith of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation of 6 February 2019 and the preparation of presidential and legislative elections, the arrival on the scene of the Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC), with its plan to destabilize constitutional institutions and sabotage the electoral process, resulted in a sudden and almost general deterioration of the security situation through systemic violence.”

“I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude for the interest that all members of the Security Council and the Secretary-General of the United Nations are showing in the situation in the Central African Republic. This interest is evident in the increase in troops and assets of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) authorized by resolution 2566 (2021) and in the recent mission, from 11 to 15 October, of members of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 2127 (2013) with regard to the sanctions regime, in order to better assess progress made in relation to security, political and economic challenges in my country. There were challenges when we least expected them.”

“There is indeed too little progress, however we firmly intend to proceed along the path to the country's development and reconstruction. The town ofBombari, in the prefecture of Ouaka, is a pilot project. With the support of MINUSCA and our partners, we hope to strengthen our presence, refurbish administrative buildings and provide basic social services - in short, ensure that some sense ofnormalcy returns by restoring State authority. We must build on efforts supported by the international community. Rebuilding the country requires the participation of all parties: central and local administrations, the private sector, civil society and international partners. I have given the Council a description of the political and security situation in the Central African Republic. We thank you, Mr.”

“The visit to our country on ll March by Mr. Makhtar Diop, World Bank Vice-President for the Africa Region, reflects that organization's interest in helping us relaunch socioeconomic development. We are also reassured by the recent visit by Ms. Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, as well as other high-level partners. In turn, we reassure them of our absolute willingness to demonstrate good governance and to be unwavering in our fight against corruption - a scourge that has long undermined our institutions. The Central African Republic is at a crossroads in its quest for lasting peace, reconstruction and development. Its people are tired of the crises caused by armed groups that hold socioeconomic development hostage. I have always advocated change.”

“The appointment of a special criminal prosecutor and the operationalization of the special criminal court, with the support of our partners, will enable us to meet the expectations ofa people who have suffered so much from this crisis and who quite rightly demand justice. As the Council is aware, the humanitarian situation remains critical. We must meet immense needs. People in the interior of my country continue to flee their homes, seeking refuge elsewhere and ending up in makeshift sites. I make an urgent appeal to the international community to redouble its efforts and give us the necessary support to enable displaced persons to return to their homes. Despite a challenging environment, our partners continue to provide support. We commend their commitment, which is a sign of international solidarity.”

“However, I would like to reassure the Council of our commitment to respecting the recommendations put forward by the Bangui Forum, in particular on impunity and justice in the context of all political agreements. We ask for amnesty be granted to the perpetrators of serious crimes and other breaches of the law, forgetting that amnesty is a legislative measure that cannot be used by the executive branch. All efforts must reflect the legitimate hopes of the Central African people as expressed at the Bangui Forum, as well as the provisions of the Constitution. Nonetheless, we remain open to discussions on the issue. At the same time, justice will be handed down in due course and without compromising on principles.”

“That is why we are more than ever determined to put professional national forces on the ground, working in conjunction with MINUSCA, to protect civilians. I thank the Security Council, which approved a robust mandate for MINUSCA to help us to emerge from the crisis. But it is also important to consider strengthening MINUSCA by increasing its personnel and material resources to enable it to better discharge its mandate. For I can see for myself the challenges it faces daily given the size of the country and the complex problems on the ground that require additional resources. We are open to constructive dialogue. We support African initiatives towards peace and reconciliation aimed at bolstering our own efforts.”

“We have approximately 8,000 soldiers whom we cannot deploy because they have not yet completed their training due to insufficient resources. I mention those facts because there is a close link between security and development in the Central African Republic. After many years of conflict, the entire population, so badly in need of infrastructure and basic services, longs for development, and that can be achieved only if security exists. The need for security therefore demands a higher number of trained defence and security personnel, with adequate resources and deployed on the ground alongside United Nations forces, currently working alone because Central African Republic forces are not yet operational. Conflicts between armed groups continue in the interior of the country and result in many lives lost and widespread destruction.”

“It is for that reason that I ask the Security Council to assist us in finding a faster way - through bilateral or multilateral cooperation - to train our armed forces, in addition to the training provided by the European Union's Military Training Mission, because the security challenges are immense. The country is very large, and that calls for more training and the deployment of an even greater number of soldiers. In addition, I would like to point out concerns about furnishing trained armed forces of the Central African Republic with military equipment and other logistical tools, as it is very difficult for us to put trained soldiers on the ground without adequate equipment in areas of the country facing threats to peace and people's safety.”

“The ongoing recruitment of 500 police officers with the support of MINUSCA, training for our security forces provided by the European Union Military Training Mission in the Central African Republic and the commitment of some countries in the subregion have led to the establishment of Central African Republic armed forces battalions. At this juncture in my presentation, I would like to highlight that I am concerned about the pace of the training provided to the armed forces by the European Union's Military Training Mission. The training process is slow and does not allow us in the short term to have enough personnel to assist in restoring peace and calm to the country and protecting civilians.”

“It is important to note that the ongoing military action by MINUSCA in Bombari is an exception and does not disregard the importance of dialogue in achieving a lasting solution. I hope that that initiative will lead to a final concrete outcome in the operationalization of the DDRR/security sector reform/ national reconciliation process. I would like to express our gratitude to the international community and to neighbouring countries that have provided invaluable support in the areas of DDRR and security sector reform, in particular the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, which allotted CAF 2 billion to the DDR process.”

“Since the Brussels Conference, we have been working with our partners to develop the monitoring and assessment framework for the National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan, as well as to implement the Mutual Engagement Framework. Those fundamental elements for restoring peace and rebuilding the economy must go hand in hand. We regret the fact that, despite efforts by MINUSCA, some armed groups refuse to lay down their weapons and continue to mount their offensive. By adopting a firm stance, through its mandate and with my consent, MINUSCA has been able to protect civilians, avert efforts to divide the country and, above all, force armed groups reluctant to join the DDRR/ security sector reform/national reconciliation process to at last appoint representatives to the DDRR advisory and monitoring committee.”

“On this solemn occasion, I welcome the decision of the Front populaire pour la renaissance de la Centrafrique and Maxime Mokom's anti-Balaka group to finally join the process by nominating their representatives to the advisory and monitoring committee for the national DDRR programme. That is a decisive step that will enable us to go further in the effective implementation of that important programme for the return to peace. All 14 armed groups will be represented at the next meeting of the committee, scheduled for 23 March. Although we have made some progress, the Central African Republic needs substantial resources to launch the necessary reforms.”

“We have come a long way, from the transition period to the elections and the appointment of legitimate national authorities. In taking the reins of the country, I have audaciously bet on change, reconstruction and economic development despite a security environment that remains volatile. Our priority continues to be security and the pacification of the entire country. The establishment of the committee on disarmament, demobilization, rehabilitation and reintegration (DDRR) programme, the reform of the security sector reform and national reconciliation are the result of that prioritization, which affords an opportunity for all armed groups to find solutions by consensus with the Government with regard to the issue of the DDRR programme and some of their concerns through dialogue.”

This meeting provides a new opportunity to take stock of the evolution of the political and security situation in the Central African Republic, a major focus of the United Nations, which has continued to vigorously support us since the holding of the latest general elections at the end of 2016.”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Sir, and through you the entire Security Council, for the time being devoted to my country despite the Security Council's busy schedule for this month, as well as for inviting me to speak. My country is grateful for the Security Council's full support for its efforts aimed at ending the violent crisis that it has experienced and for its determination to silence the guns so as to achieve a just and lasting peace.”

“The Government will undertake an assessment ofrecovery and peacebuilding with the joint support of the United Nations, the European Union and the World Bank. The assessment will make it possible to formulate a priority national action plan for recovery and peacebuilding at the donor meeting to be organized by the European Union in Brussels in November. These are the topics that I wanted to present to the Security Council. I express the hope that the international community will provide its support for the actions included in the Central African Republic's agenda for recovery.”

“The various gains made have required the support and assistance of the international community. Such support should continue in a framework of mutual engagement with international partners in the Central African Republic to support its Government and people in implementing the nationally agreed priorities of peace and security, justice and reconciliation, the restoration of State authority, and social and economic development. Our hope is that the framework of mutual engagement focuses on the immediate challenges. Priorities for recovery and long-term development will be taken into account in a framework in the style of the New Deal, of which the Central African Republic is a pilot country.”

“The consolidation of public finances and reform of the productive sectors will be among the major pursuits of this new presidential term. It will be a major reform of State-owned financial agencies to increase and secure State resources and contain public spending. A relentless battle will be waged against fraud, corruption, embezzlement and extortion. In the same spirit, the Government will relaunch the productive sectors - agriculture, trade, energy, private foreign investment, public/private partnership - in order to stimulate growth and ensure not only food security but also increased exports and reduction of imports. Social measures to combat unemployment, improve the professionalization of the educational system and enhance access to health care, medication and housing are envisaged.”

“By combining the referral to the International Criminal Court with the establishment of a strengthened specific national mechanism, the Central African Republic has recently blazed a new trail in the fight against impunity. However, it is important for the international community to provide us, as soon as possible, with experts and international judges with real experience in prosecuting the most serious crimes. Furthermore, the imminent establishment of a national human rights commission, in accordance with international standards, will enable my country to take a crucial step in this area. In addition, the establishment of the Truth, Justice, Reconciliation and Reparation Commission recommended at the Bangui Forum will also enable the country to lay the foundations of lasting peace.”

“However, I note that, in the context of restoring the authority of the State and protecting civilian populations in the Central African Republic, strengthening the functional and operational capacities of the police and gendarmerie also remains a priority. In this context, the internal security forces, with the support of the MINUSCA police component, have developed a plan for capacity building and development that deserves to be implemented. Here, I would like to highlight the Government's efforts to engage all Central Africans on the path of reconciliation and forgiveness, bearing in mind that justice must be served in order to combat impunity and promote human rights.”

“The Government is resolved to undertake a major reform of the decentralization policy in order to help the population govern itself better, by asserting its presence throughout the entire country and meeting the basic needs of the citizens of the Central African Republic. At this point, I wish to express the Government's gratitude to the international community for its support in restoring the authority of the State. This support has enabled the redeployment of 16 prefects, 71 sub-prefects and 174 special delegations, as well as of 425 staff professionals working in social services, 70 per cent of whom work in the education sector.”

“In order to have a lasting impact, ourjoint security efforts must, of course, be sustained and extended by continued work towards national reconciliation, justice and the fight against impunity and, more broadly, towards the restoration of State authority and the promotion of human rights throughout the country. These actions aimed at establishing a protective environment must remain a priority in the mandate of MINUSCA, and be undertaken primarily in areas where insecurity persists. The deployment of administration throughout the national territory is absolutely vital to providing the population with basic social services so as to effectively contribute to national reconciliation and the restoration of State authority, as well as to respond to the marginalization that fuels the country's cycles of crises.”

“Coordination of security operations must be strengthened, and joint operations, particularly with the internal security forces, can enable our forces to benefit immediately from rapid response capacities and contribute directly to the security of the population. These operations will make it possible to apprehend the perpetrators of mass crimes, as well as criminals or even armed groups that continue to violate the rights of citizens. These security operations must be carried out in support of a political process focused on political solutions, disarmament, demobilization, repatriation and reintegration, and security sector reform in order to contain and gradually reduce the presence and negative action of armed groups.”

“That is why the protection of civilians must remain the priority mandate of MINUSCA and be carried out in support of Government action. In order to guarantee such protection, particular support from the international community is needed to equip and train our personnel and enable them to fulfil their primary responsibility in respect of protection and security. First and foremost, the Central African Republic must first rebuild its army, gendarmerie and police, in addition to itsjudicial and correctional system. This will require the establishment of professional, honest, equipped, trained operational structures that are representative of all segments of the population.”

“The refugees from the Central African Republic want to go back to their country, and they want there to be a return to justice, reconciliation among communities, freedom of movement and peace. Against a backdrop of heightened vulnerability due to a drop in agricultural production, forced displacement, rampant crime and the still too great number of atrocities being committed by armed groups, we together must do more and better to protect the population throughout the breadth of the country. In the immediate term, and this is the number one priority of my Government, the Central African Republic needs the unwavering support of the international community, particularly of MINUSCA, to protect populations sustainably.”

“The continued presence of armed groups - whether anti-Balaka or ex-Seleka - as well as that of the Lord's Resistance Army, poses a daily challenge to the security of civilians. Added to that are the ongoing inter-communal tensions, including with regard to herding migration, which are being fuelled by the presence of those groups. The grass-roots consultations as well as the Bangui Forum accorded significant attention to the issue of Victims, who were able to share their Views and their expectations. Displaced populations and ethnic and religious minorities are at particular risk of Violence, while women and children all too often suffer from gender-based violence and are victims of recruitment by armed groups.”

“The security environment was also conducive to the success of popular consultations, the Bangui Forum, the referendum and the parliamentary and presidential elections. I would especially like to thank MINUSCA and the entire United Nations system for its efforts to protect civilians throughout our territory - from Paoua to Obo and from Berberati to Birao. The effects of those efforts are particularly evident in the return of displaced persons and refugees populations, which has accelerated in recent months, for example in Bangui, Berberati and Kaga Bandoro. In spite of that strategic success, the task remains enormous, while the capabilities of MINUSCA, combined with those of the security forces of the Central African Republic, are unfortunately to date insufficient to put an end to the Violence affecting our citizens.”

“This meeting of the Security Council is taking place at an opportune moment, in that it is focused on the question of peacekeeping operations and the protection of civilians. I believes it affords us an opportunity to discuss the case of my country - the Central African Republic - which hosts an international peacekeeping operation on its territory that has ensured the protection of civilians for some time now. With the support of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), the European Union-led peacekeeping force in the Central African Republic, the European Union Military Advisory Mission in the Central African Republic and Operation Sangaris, the Transitional Government was able quickly to put an end to mass atrocities.”
