“Last Tuesday, the Prime Minister, the President of the National Electoral Authority and I signed the integrated security plan for local elections. Those elections need to be inclusive in order to be credible. All citizens, including those living in remote areas and the hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons, must be provided the opportunity to register to vote. Regrettably, the organization of the local elections faces many challenges, including an acute financial shortfall. I call on partners of the Central African Republic to support the elections for all the potential gains they are likely to bring for the Central African Republic and its people. There are other challenges. The elections will also be conducted in a challenging security environment, and we must recognize that armed groups could become spoilers.”

“They provide an opportunity to expand political space to include traditionally marginalized groups, such as women and youth, while also giving former combatants and leaders of armed groups who laid down their arms and remained in the peace process an opportunity to have a voice. In addition, the elections provide an opportunity for the Government to engage the political opposition in a genuine dialogue. The Central African authorities have taken steps to create an enabling environment for the local elections, including by developing its legal framework and updating the electoral code to encourage the participation of women. Through the adoption of a new law, more than 200 constituencies were established.”

“At the same time, there are still opportunities for further advancing the implementation of the peace and political process and sustaining its gains. That will require more commitment and engagement from the Central African Republic’s partners, including in the subregion. A significant opportunity is the upcoming local elections, which will be the first in the Central African Republic since 1988. Those elections could strengthen local governance and advance the decentralization of services in a country where exclusion and centre-periphery discrepancies are among the root causes of recurrent conflicts. I cannot overstate the importance of local elections, which are a key component of the political peace agreement.”

“The efforts of the national authorities to explore options for the integration of ex-combatants into the security forces, including the special mixed security units, as well as for the long-term socioeconomic reintegration of ex- combatants, is welcomed and requires the support of international partners. Commendable steps have been taken, and others are on the horizon. We look forward to the Government convening the next strategic review of the peace and political process following the first, held in June. That will be an opportunity to take stock of the progress made and the challenges to overcome. To that end, the Government’s strategy of engagement with leaders of armed groups who remain outside of the peace process remains central to continued progress.”

“In December 2022 we saw the dissolution of four armed groups that are signatories to the Political Agreement and represented in the Government, namely, the Rassemblement patriotique pour le renouveau de la Centrafrique, the Mouvement des libérateurs centrafricains pour la justice, the Union des forces républicaines and the Union des forces républicaines fondamentales. This demonstrates that political engagement coupled with real incentives and alternatives for armed groups can create positive momentum towards inclusive and constructive dialogue.”

“While we always wish for the quick realization of peace, we are also pleased to see gradual progress as a result of the Government’s increased ownership, such as in preparations for local elections, the reform of the security sector, the exten- sion of State authority and the adoption of an opera- tional framework for border management. Those steps are welcome, as the Central African population faces myriad challenges, compounded by a worsening socio- economic situation. Addressing violence is at the heart of the Central African Republic’s peace process. The path to sustainable peace is through inclusive and constructive dialogue, as the military option alone cannot decisively or durably resolve the conflict. Political engagement with the leaders of armed groups remains essential and is starting to yield modest results.”

“Ms. Rugwabiza: I am honoured to join the Security Council today to present the most recent report of the Secretary-General on the Central African Republic (S/2023/108) and to update the Council on recent developments and the implementation of the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). The peace and political process, under the leader- ship of the Government and effective coordination by the Prime Minister, has continued to advance to the implementation of the time frame adopted by the Gov- ernment on 29 August 2022, which, as the Council will recall, seeks to mutualize the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Repub- lic and the Luanda road map.”

“The latest report of the Secretary-General (S/2022/762) bears witness to the immeasurable contribution and the ever- critical contribution of MINUSCA’s multidimensional mandate, on which the people, the host Government and the subregion depend in our collective quest for lasting political solutions to the crisis in the Central African Republic.”
2022-10-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9156 (2022) · source
“In parallel and as a complement to political action, the Mission’s ability to dissuade all actors who want to find a solution through violent action in the Central African conflict will depend on the Council’s effective and ongoing support by maintaining a robust and flexible mandate, as well as access to the necessary resources and capacities for its implementation. To conclude my introductory remarks, I would like to commend the foresight of the Security Council, which has given MINUSCA a mandate commensurate with the challenges and concerns arising from the situation in the Central African Republic.”
2022-10-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9156 (2022) · source
“It requires ongoing political efforts aimed at renouncing violence as a means of resolving the political conflict in the Central African Republic, the continuation of the optimization of MINUSCA’s mandate, the resumption of the inclusive dialogue with the democratic opposition and the support of the guarantors and facilitators of the peace process in the Central African Republic, as well as the continued backing of regional and international partners. There is therefore room for hope. It calls for our collective efforts to mediate among the conflicting parties for the primacy of a political solution to the crisis.”

“Durable solutions for the reintegration of displaced persons and refugees into local communities, combined with those for the socioeconomic reintegration of ex-combatants, will strengthen the new decentralization policy currently being developed and increase the contribution of local elections to the process of democratization through inclusion and national reconciliation. Elections have not been held since 1988, and they are a crucial step towards decentralized governance, the full restoration of State authority and greater legitimacy for local authorities among the people who have elected them. In the light of the foregoing, hope for peace in the Central African Republic persists and is real.”

“The calm observed in some parts of the country thanks to the redeployment of national defence and security forces and the proactive and preventive posture of MINUSCA enables freedom of movement and an increase in the return of displaced persons and refugees to areas recently freed from the grip of armed groups. However, the humanitarian needs of the people living in those areas remain alarming and call for the continued mobilization of humanitarian partners. It is also important to consolidate the security and political gains observed in some of those areas through the increased engagement of development partners. In particular, I call for the remobilization of partners to support sustainable efforts in the socioeconomic reintegration of ex-combatants and the extension of State authority.”

“I salute the maturity of the political actors who continue to uphold the supremacy of the law, and I encourage both the Government and the people of the Central African Republic to fiercely preserve that institutional heritage, which is a guarantee of political stability and a symbol of democratic anchoring. On the other hand, I must call the Government’s attention to the imperative need to put an end to the manipulation of information, the stigmatization of institutions and people, including public incitements to violence. The perpetrators and instigators must be held accountable for such actions, which threaten the fragile balance of a society in search of cohesion and are susceptible to manipulation due to their various flaws.”

“I would like to emphasize that those reform efforts are also in line with the priorities of the Luanda road map, contributing to the restoration of State authority and securing the borders. The respect by the institutions, people, Government and opposition of the Constitutional Court’s decision of 23 September annulling the decrees on the creation, functioning, composition and appointment of the members of the drafting committee for the constitution on the grounds that they were unconstitutional, as well as the withdrawal of said decrees by the Government, are to be commended.”

“I reiterate our appeal to the Council and to the Member States to mobilize the necessary support to strengthen national mechanisms for the promotion and protection of human rights. In the same vein, I would like to note with satisfaction the high-level dialogue initiated by Ms. Ilze Brands Kehris, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, during her visit to the Central African Republic in early October. With regard to security sector reform, I welcome the efforts of the Government of the Central African Republic to move forward in its process of strengthening the institutional capacity of the security sector, which is essential to protect its population. MINUSCA will continue to support that national process, which requires the coordinated and transparent support of all partners in the Central African Republic.”

“With regard to human rights violations, in addition to the publication of periodic reports and the annual report mandated by the Council, we have established a framework for constructive dialogue and accountability, both with regard to the follow-up of documented violations and to the implementation of the recommendations made in the public reports of MINUSCA and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. I also welcome the commitment of the Government of the Central African Republic, during the forty-ninth session of the Human Rights Council, to invest more in the follow-up and implementation of the recommendations of public reports and treaty organs.”

“In this regard, I would like to welcome the start of the first trial before the Special Criminal Court. I invite the Government to renew the Court’s mandate and call on Council members and other States Members of the United Nations to increase their financial support and lend their expertise in the judicial investigations so as to favour the effective functioning of this Court, thereby helping to break the cycle of impunity, which is an absolutely essential step for the social reintegration of victims and national reconciliation.”

“This is the time to call on all the regional and international partners of the Central African Republic and the guarantors and facilitators of the Peace Agreement to provide their support and contributions to the implementation of the timetable in a coordinated manner and in accordance with all their comparative advantages, under the effective coordination of the Prime Minister and the strategic direction of the President of the Republic. The progress made in restoring the authority of the State, including the redeployment of the defence and security forces and civil servants, the strengthening of the judicial system and the promotion of transitional-justice mechanisms, such as the Special Criminal Court, is noteworthy and should be reinforced.”

“Consequently, any delay in the implementation of the political component of the joint road map is likely to compromise the gains made and expose the population to new risks of massive violence depending on how the balance of power shifts throughout the vast territory of the Central African Republic. This Governmental timetable for the implementation of the joint road map and the Political Agreement, if effectively and fully executed by the Central African Government, offers the political means to prevent the resurgence of violence.”

“These demands from and expectations of the Central African populations must be the mantra of all parties to the conflict and the mission to be fulfilled by all partners in the Central African Republic peace process. The unanimous support of the Security Council is more necessary than ever to leave the parties no alternative but to fulfil their obligations under the joint road map and the Political Agreement. This is in the interest of peace and stability, given the fragility of the security situation, which might still be subjected to a sudden change in direction.”

“Since I took office in April 2022, I have met several times with the Central African population — from every generation and affiliation, from different religious and traditional backgrounds, with opinion leaders and representatives of different associations in the hinterland beyond Bangui — and the discussions I have had with these populations have struck me with the unanimity of the peoples’ expectations and hopes: the return of peace and security for all citizens throughout the Central African Republic and the tangible decentralization of services and opportunities to be enjoyed by all populations, regardless of their location or community of origin. In other words, security and inclusion are at the heart of the population’s expectations.”

“For this reason, we continue to encourage the Government to implement its strategy of re-engaging the armed groups bound by the Luanda road map to ensure the effectiveness of the ceasefire and the renunciation of violence and the completion of the talks already under way, with the support of the ICGLR representatives, Angola and Rwanda, in perfect harmony with the African Union and the Economic Community of Central African States, and of course with the continued support of MINUSCA working in coordination with international partners.”

“This is the time to recall the consensus established through the coordination meetings chaired by the Prime Minister on the primacy of the political component of the timetable for a lasting solution to the political and security crisis in the Central African Republic, whose costs and consequences for the civilian population are devastating.”

“In this respect, I would like to point out the multiplier effect that the Government’s implementation of this timetable is already generating: for example, to name just a few of the many developments, the President of the Republic’s opening on 14 September 2022 of the dialogue with the leaders of 11 armed groups with a view to their disbanding pursuant to the political commitments of the Political Agreement; the adjustment of capacities to respond to the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration needs expressed by certain armed groups; the structural reforms relating to the establishment by decree dated 28 September 2022 of the committee for integrating former combatants; the resumption of inspections as part of efforts to strengthen monitoring of the defence and security forces; and the adoption of a code for marking arms and ammunition.”

“We now have no alternative but to seize the emerging opportunity to transcend the formality that has at times characterized the peace process in order to make it a perceptible reality that leads to tangible results. This is the ambition of the Government and the hope of the international partners that are committed to supporting the implementation of the Government’s timetable.”
2022-10-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9156 (2022) · source
“It will also be necessary to create the conditions for a political resolution of the Central African crisis and for armed groups to renounce armed-offensive action and violence to assert their claims. It is in this regard that MINUSCA welcomes the development and launch of implementation of the shared timetable of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic and the joint road map for peace in the Central African Republic of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), under the effective coordination of the Prime Minister and Head of Government and the leadership and personal commitment of the Head of State, as well as the commitment of the guarantors and facilitators of the Political Agreement and that of Angola and Rwanda on behalf of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region.”

“The resurgence of armed-group activity and the use of explosive devices in the north-western border areas of the country make it difficult or impossible to reach populations in critical and urgent need of humanitarian assistance. This confirms that the absence of deliberate mass attacks against civilians during the reporting period does not preclude the return of such attacks until all parties to the conflict have renounced violence. Central African populations, particularly the most vulnerable, continue to pay the highest price for the conflict. It will take more than MINUSCA’s robust posture and the Government’s security capacity to restore lasting security throughout the Central African Republic.”
2022-10-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9156 (2022) · source
“We note with concern, however, that the protection of the civilian population from abuse and physical violence continues to be challenged by persistent threats caused by the renewed activities of armed groups in the border localities of the western sector of the country, which are the most affected by landmines and explosive devices, from which our own force suffered casualties earlier this month. Currently, our force is engaged in a joint operation with the national defence and security forces to address threats from armed groups, protect populations, facilitate humanitarian assistance and support the DDRR programme in the centre of the country.”
2022-10-19 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9156 (2022) · source
“This posture is illustrated by our operations that have enabled us to pre-emptively deploy MINUSCA forces to the north- east of the Central African Republic to restore an environment conducive to the protection of civilians, humanitarian assistance, the advancement of the national disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation (DDRR) programme and the functioning of the territorial administration, and to cut off the armed groups’ supply routes, accordingly. We will continue to support the redeployment of the internal defence and security forces in accordance with the policy of due diligence on human rights.”

“While taking the exact measure of the threats and risks, and always backed by our concept of operations without prejudice to the Government’s primary responsibility, MINUSCA has indeed played a key role in protecting civilian populations and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid through a robust, preventive and proactive posture, in response to alerts received from communities.”

“We need a critical analysis of the progress made in the implementation of the strategic priorities of MINUSCA’s multidimensional mandate in four areas — first, political and security dynamics; secondly, safeguarding the achievements that have been made in the implementation of MINUSCA’s mandate; thirdly, the prospects for decentralizing the political and peace process; and fourthly, the extension of State authority for lasting political solutions to the root causes of the political and security-related conflict in the Central African Republic. In terms of security, MINUSCA’s support has been decisive.”

“And I should highlight that the ban on night flights also deprives all of our pilots deployed in the Central African Republic of the minimum flying time they need to maintain their certificates, which they have all lost as a result of de facto disqualification. I appreciate the privilege of sharing with the Council my observations on major developments that deserve members’ attention, four months after our previous review of the situation in the Central African Republic (see S/PV.9074).”

“At the outset, I would like to join the Council and the Secretary-General in reiterating my deepest condolences to the families of the Blue Helmets who have fallen victim to explosive devices, as well as to the Government and the people of Bangladesh. At the same time, I salute the memory of all peacekeepers who have sacrificed their lives in the implementation of the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) to restore the country to peace and security. I urge the Central African Government to lift the ban on night flights. Night flights are essential to the safety and security of peacekeepers, humanitarian actors and all other partners on the ground, as well as civilian personnel and populations in need of humanitarian assistance.”

“I would like to conclude by welcoming the strengthening of confidence-building measures between MINUSCA and the Central African Government, which have allowed and seen the reduction of status-of forces-agreement violations, the strengthening of our cooperation, and a new impetus to the peace process. It is only with such confidence that MINUSCA and the Central African Republic will be able to derive greater benefit from the full strength of MINUSCA’s multidimensional mandate through its operational effectiveness in the service of peace, security and stability, towards lasting political solutions to the Central African crisis.”

“History and the recent past in the Central African Republic, as in the Central African region as a whole, show that this type of message can quickly be translated into acts of violence with unpredictable and uncontrollable consequences. They are also likely to undermine living together, weaken the national reconciliation process and slow down the efforts undertaken. Consequently, it is the responsibility of the Central African Government to respond appropriately by taking all necessary measures to prevent, repress and put an end to such reprehensible acts.”

“The reports compiled and finalized by MINUSCA will be published after consultation with the Government, in accordance with the established procedure. We remain committed to working with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to assist the Government in adopting preventive measures and mobilizing appropriate technical assistance, as well as in efforts to combat impunity and rehabilitate victims of human rights violations. In the same vein, MINUSCA notes with the same concern the persistence of stigmatization and public incitement to violence against leaders of the democratic opposition or against certain partners of the Central African Republic.”

“We are conscious, however, that the ultimate solution to the Central African Republic’s security problem lies in rebuilding the capacities required for an efficient professional defence and security force that can ensure the sustainability of efforts to secure and stabilize the Central African Republic. This is a collective effort that requires the support of the Security Council and of all partners, as well as the creation by the Government of conditions favourable for the concerted and coordinated re-engagement of all its bilateral and multilateral partners in the process of implementing the national strategy for security sector reform, including the national defence plan. In this regard, MINUSCA maintains a constructive and frank dialogue with the Government on respecting human rights.”

“In that regard, and despite the fuel crisis that affects us, MINUSCA is planning for the immediate implementation of operations in response to the new posture of armed groups that are taking advantage of the crisis context to reposition themselves tactically. Accordingly, I call on the members of the Council to mobilize all Member States, be they source or transit States, to guarantee MINUSCA’s fuel supplies, for the continuity and completeness of our operations, which remain essential to the security and stability of the Central African Republic. To remain consistent, MINUSCA aims to maintain this posture and increase its support and cooperation with the Government.”

“Beyond the protection of civilians and access to humanitarian aid, the effectiveness of such a posture by MINUSCA is all the more necessary as it is a prerequisite for the creation and maintenance of a security environment conducive to the peace process, including respect for the ceasefire, the full restoration of State authority and services, the continuation of disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation in a climate of trust, and the implementation of durable solutions for the voluntary and dignified return of refugees and displaced persons with a view to their participation in local elections that are credible, peaceful and inclusive in all the territorial communities of the Central African Republic.”

“I am pleased that this readjustment of our concept of operations was decisive in its positive impact on the populations of Boyo, Mingala and Polubu, who expressed their satisfaction with MINUSCA’s robust and proactive posture in cooperation with the national defence and security forces. I intend to continue to mobilize MINUSCA’s resources and work with local populations and community leaders to take these preventive measures to support the Central African authorities in removing credible threats of violence on civilian populations rather than reacting when the violence has already occurred.”

“Considering the damaging consequences of these adverse activities for the people’s security and property and for humanitarian assistance, an accurate assessment of the still fragile progress being made in rebuilding the national defence and security forces, and given MINUSCA’s mandate and the additional resources that the Council has placed at its disposal, MINUSCA has readjusted its concept of operations to prioritize a preventive approach centred on the civilian populations, who deserve to live in peace and security and free from fear, regardless of where they live within the vast territory of the Central African Republic.”

“The cessation of hostilities throughout the country’s territory remains both an immediate goal and a gauge of the credibility of the joint road map for peace in the Central African Republic. We must remain focused on that and encourage the adoption of consensus measures aimed at discouraging the parties who do not respect their commitments under the joint road map, in accordance with the letter and the spirit of the peace agreement, without prejudice to the ongoing restoration of State authority and its exercise of its sovereign powers to protect its territorial integrity.”

Finally, I would like to express the widely shared concern about the persistent violations of the ceasefire by all the parties to the conflict, whose operations and belligerent acts have continued, thereby exposing civilians to violence.”

In view of those encouraging developments in the collective efforts to revitalize the political process through a revival of regional dynamics, I would like to request Council members’ unanimous support in carrying out the plan to monitor the strategic review of 4 June.”

“Thirdly, we saw a convergence of views on the importance of continuing efforts to harmonize the political commitments previously undertaken separately under the auspices of the guarantors of the 6 February agreement and within the framework of the joint road map, which should now be part of a single platform, with full synergy, that can bring together the representatives of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, Angola and Rwanda, the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States and MINUSCA. Fourthly, the necessary conditions have been created for the re-engagement of the international partners, who all share the Government’s view with regard to the uniqueness of the political process articulated around the Political Agreement, which the joint road map seeks to revitalize around six key components.”
