THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC and Small Arms Survey by Eric G
SMALL ARMS: A REGIONAL TINDERBOX A REGIONAL ARMS: SMALL AND REPUBLIC AFRICAN THE CENTRAL Small Arms Survey By Eric G. Berman with Louisa N. Lombard Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies 47 Avenue Blanc, 1202 Geneva, Switzerland p +41 22 908 5777 f +41 22 732 2738 e [email protected] w www.smallarmssurvey.org THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC AND SMALL ARMS A REGIONAL TINDERBOX ‘ The Central African Republic and Small Arms is the most thorough and carefully researched G. Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996. -

Operations • Repatriation Movements
Update on Key Events in the Central African Republic From 10 to 26 February 2020 Operations • Repatriation movements UNHCR CAR has resumed its activities of voluntary repatriation of Central African refugees from the various countries of asylum. It is hosting a convoy of 250 people from the Lolo camp in Cameroon, today, 26 February 2020. Voluntary repatriation of Central African refugees from Cameroon UNHCR Also the last week, a convoy of 94 households including 151 returnees was welcomed at Bangui airport from Brazzaville. All these people received, after their arrival, monetary assistance and certificates of loss of documents for adults. UNHCR is also continuing preparations for the resumption of voluntary repatriation of refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon. • Fire alerts in this dry season are becoming more and more recurrent at the various IDP sites, particularly in Kaga Bandoro, Batangafo and Bambari. These fires are sometimes due to poor handling of household fires. To minimize the risk of fire, UNHCR is currently conducting awareness campaigns at IDP sites. This awareness raising focused on the different mechanisms for fire management and strengthening the fire prevention strategy. In response, UNHCR provided assistance in complete NFI kits to 26 fire-affected households at the Bambari livestock site.

Central African Republic Report of the Secretary-Gen
United Nations S/2020/545 Security Council Distr.: General 16 June 2020 Original: English Central African Republic Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. By its resolution 2499 (2019), the Security Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) until 15 November 2020 and requested me to report on its implementation every four months. The present report provides an update on major developments in the Central African Republic since the previous report of 14 February 2020 (S/2020/124), including the impact of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which was officially declared in the Central African Republic on 14 March. II. Political situation Political developments 2. The political environment was marked by increased mobilization ahead of the presidential and legislative elections scheduled for December 2020, contributing to tensions between political stakeholders. The Special Representative of the Secretary- General for the Central African Republic and Head of MINUSCA, Mankeur Ndiaye, with his good offices and political facilitation mandate, engaged with national stakeholders and international partners to encourage constructive and inclusive political dialogue to preserve fragile gains. 3. On 11 February, 14 opposition parties formed the Coalition de l’opposition démocratique with the proclaimed objective of ensuring free, fair, inclusive and timely elections. The coalition includes the parties Union pour le renouveau centrafricain of the former Prime Minister, Anicet-Georges Dologuélé; the Kwa Na Kwa of the former President, François Bozizé; the Convention républicaine pour le progrès social of the former Prime Minister, Nicolas Tiangaye; the Chemin de l’espérance of the former President of the National Assembly, Karim Meckassoua; and the Be Africa Ti E Kwe of the former Prime Minister, Mahamat Kamoun. -

April 20, 2012 ATTN: Dr. Rajiv Shah, USAID Administrator, Washington, DC Copied: USAID Representative in the Central African Republic, Bangui Subject: Insecurity in Mbomou and Haut-Mbomou Prefectures, CAR We, civil society organizations of the Central African Republic, write to USAID to present our request regarding the security, sociopolitical, and economic situation in Mbomou and Haut- Mbomou prefectures. The region comprising Mbomou and Haut-Mbomou prefectures, in southeastern CAR, borders the Democratic Republic of Congo and is far from CAR’s capital, Bangui. This region has experienced a multi-sectorial crisis for a decade, with growing insecurity due to the presence of the Lord’s Resistance Army. This uncontrolled force operates completely undisturbed, preying on peaceful citizens. From one day to the next, we record cases of rape, looting, burning of villages, killings and murders, kidnapping of adults and children, forced recruitment of children into the LRA, and more. Following abuses by men loyal to Joseph Kony, the LRA leader, parts of the two prefectures have become inaccessible. Indeed, in a recent joint declaration by civil society organizations from DRC and CAR, a “Call for Solidarity,” signatories alluded to the region’s isolation, a factor Joseph Kony exploits to do as he pleases and remain elusive. In order to help save lives in a community nearing collapse after attacks by LRA troops, we hope that certain proposals by civil society actors would be indispensable, in addition to the current emergency humanitarian actions. Desirable actions include: - Rehabilitation and re-opening of road sections: Bambouti – Bangassou traveling through Obo – Mboki – Zemio – Rafaï Zemio – Djemah and Obo – Djemah Djemah – Dembia - Installation of modern mobile telephone networks in the area, covering Djemah, Zemio, Mboki, and Rafai. -
OCHA CAR Snapshot Incident
CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC Overview of incidents affecting humanitarian workers March 2020 CONTEXTE The situation remained very tense in several areas, such as Ndélé, Bria, Kaga-Bandoro and Birao. This led to restrictions of movement of humanitarian organizations and to incidents from constraints in the delivery of critical aid. 1 January to 31 March 2020 The civilian population is the primary victim of tensions and violence in the country which Birao is also one of the most dangerous contexts in the world for humanitarian workers. 127 40 incidents directly affecting humanitarian personnel or property were recorded in March 86 (compared to 19 in February). One humanitarian worker died and another one was injured Ndélé hit by stray bullets during armed confrontations in Ndélé at the beginning of the month. 11 Since the first covid-19 case was confirmed on 14th March in Central African Republic, 11 Kabo Kaga- Bamingui cases of verbal aggression and intimidation against foreign humanitarian workers have Batangafo Bandoro Bamingui Markounda 31 Kaga-Kaga- Batangafo Bandoro 1 Bria been reported.

List of Informants 1 Health Service Provision in the Central African Republic Overview The Central African Republic (CAR), created by an accident of colonial history, is an enclave geographically, commercially, linguistically, surrounded by turbulent neighbours. Perversely yet quite appropriately, it is perhaps best known in the Anglophone world for this same obscurity: the place few people have ever even heard of. To a large degree, it is this very environment, with perhaps some unusually extreme historical and geographical characteristics, that has moulded the health provision in present‐day CAR. While the nation has all the paraphernalia of statehood, such as fixed international boundaries, a national anthem, a flag, a recognized government and so on, what is rather striking to the observer is CAR’s apparent statelessness. -
