At the request of the African Union Commission (AUC), and pursuant to a resolution of the AU Peace and Security Council during its 612th Meeting held on 26 July 2016, a team of experts conducted a needs assessment on post conflict reconstruction and development (PCRD) in Central African Republic (CAR) from 7-17 August 2016. The main findings of the assessment include the following: 2. Security a) The security situation remains fragile with prevalence of human rights abuses, incidences of outbreak of violence, tension, and criminality throughout the country. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of state authority in most parts of the country which consequently translates to general civilian population apathy, frustration and emergence of self-help armed militia groups, banditry and criminality as a way and means of survival. b) The CAR defense and security forces are largely incapacitated with desertions, indiscipline and lack equipment, uniforms, weapons as well as appropriate command structures which has severely restricted their ability to provide security and deploy. While efforts are underway to undertake nationally owned, driven and informed security sector reforms (SSR) as well as demobilization, disarmament rehabilitation and reintegration (DDRR) programmes, the United Nations (UN) Security Council Sanctions and arms embargo severely restricts the ability of CAR’s security forces’ current capacity to provide security, with MINUSCA filling the gap, albeit with a limited mandate to protection of civilians and government’s strategic infrastructure and officials. c) Armed groups particularly the former Seleka and Anti-Balaka elements continue to control large territories of the country including areas rich in natural resources, levying illegal taxes, causing intimidation and committing serious human rights violations and atrocities to civilian populations. d) The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) remains a significant threat to peace and security. The result has been internal displacement of civilian populations, recruitment of child soldiers, abduction of women, looting, destruction of property, human rights violations, atrocities and abuses especially sexual and gender-based violence, and refugee populations. 3. Democratic Governance a. To give effect and meaning to the new constitutional dispensation, legal and institutional reforms need to be undertaken in order to align the new constitution with the strategic priorities of the Government towards post conflict reconstruction and development. These priorities include: peace, reconciliation and security; renewal of the social compact between the state and the population; and economic recovery and boosting productive sectors. b. Most of the institutions that safeguard democratic governance and provide public service delivery in CAR especially security, public service, local governance, judicial, penal, health, and accountability are severely incapacitated. Access to these facilities 4 and services by the citizens is severely hamstrung by lack of infrastructure such as roads, electricity and the fact that there is an absence of state authorities to guarantee security. c. Human rights violations and related atrocities especially sexual and gender based violence in CAR is prevalent mostly by armed groups and criminal gangs and also includes serious allegations of sexual violence abuses by state security agents, French Sangaris and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) . d. The National Assembly has in the past not played its important role of oversight to Executive excesses. The new Constitution expressly requires Parliament to diligently exercise its oversight role on the principle of separation of powers including in awarding contracts signed by the President and Prime Minister on the country’s natural resources. High levels of illiteracy in the country also means that several Members of Parliament do not have basic education and lack the capacity to pass laws and play their oversight functions. e. The humanitarian situation in CAR remains dire. Over 2 million of the 4.6 million Central Africans are dependent on humanitarian assistance within and outside the country’s borders. There are over 400,000 internally displaced persons in CAR and over 460,000 refugees in the neighbouring countries. 4. Socio-economic Development a. Despite its rich natural resources, the country’s population is one of the poorest in the world. In 2015 the country’s fiscal annual revenue was estimated at a paltry 100.6 million US Dollars with primary expenditures of about 181 Million US Dollars marking a deficit of over 80 million US Dollars. The country is over dependent on donor aid to finance its fiscal deficit including recurrent, capital and development expenditures. b. Access to basic socio-economic services is severely constrained by lack of financial and human resources as well the capacity of the state to deliver services. c. Due to lack of state authority in the entire territory as well as lack of security and capacity to effectively manage and police its borders has facilitated smuggling rackets as well as illicit financial and natural resource outflows. d. Lack of infrastructure to facilitate access and open the hinterland through roads and energy has exacerbated the security situation in CAR and continued marginalization and exclusion of rural communities from accessing basic socio-economic services. 5. Cross-cutting Issues a. Lack of education, jobs and access

  • Civil War in Central African Republic
    The International Journal of Multidisciplinary Educational Research 1(2), pp. 13-29, November 2020 Available online http:// www.scholarly-journals.com/TIJMER ISSN 2431-7132 © 2020 Scholarly-Journals Full Length Research Paper Civil War in the Central African Republic from 2012- 2016: A Historical Perspective of Foreign and African Interventions Professor Amakievi Okien Ijeoma Gabriel Department of History and International Diplomacy, Faculty of Humanities, Rivers State University, Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Email:[email protected] Received: 15 October, 2020, Accepted: 2 November, 2020, Published: 31 November, 2020 This discourse on the Second Civil War in the Central African Republic from 2012 to 2016 sought to unravel the causes of the war even though the first civil war which started in 2004 ended in 2008. The reasons for and the roles of intervention actors from Africa and outside Africa were examined. This study largely depended on journal articles, news bulletins, newspapers, and reports (secondary sources) that were readily available. With the skills of interpretation and objectivity as well as the significance of hindsight it was discovered that a fundamental issue was the disarticulation of interaction between the elites resident in Bangui, the capital city, and those residents in other parts of the country. The elites in Bangui did not have adequate knowledge of the challenges especially poverty, inadequate, and in some communities a complete lack of infrastructure for social good. They were also

  • CHAPTER V CONCLUSION Central African Republic
    CHAPTER V CONCLUSION Central African Republic (C.A.R) had already faced political complexity and insurgencies since its independence. Due to the eagerness of certain group to gain power, most of the presidents of the country were overthrown in coups which made the central government could not effectively do its function in dealing with the problem. The problem became more complex in the end of 2012 when rebel group called Séléka emerged as the disappointment of Muslim minority in the northern area of the country toward the government. Séléka is also the alliances of previous rebels groups like Democratic Front for the People of the Central African Republic (FDPC), and the Union of Re-publican Forces (UFR). Being led by Michel Djotodia, Séléka launched individual attacks toward the citizens and conquered some cities including the capital. Actions taken by Séléka resulted the toppling down of Francois Bozize as the president and changed into Séléka’s leader, Michel Djotodia. Under Djotodia’s administration, he was beneficiated from his access to power and to public funding for his own personal enrichment. Not only the leader, the whole Séléka also benefited from the taxes gotten by them, selling parallel mining authorizations, trading and smuggling diamonds and also pre-financing mining activities. However, since Djotodia was chosen unilaterally only by the member of Séléka, he was not recognized by international actors. During his administration, Anti-Balaka re-emerged as the protest of power abuse done by Séléka. Anti-Balaka itself is a modern coalition of local vigilante groups who formed in self-defense to protect communities from rebel abuses, bandits, cattle-raiders and poachers.

  • Immediate Priorities for Stabilization, Peacebuilding and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic
    ADVOCACY DOCUMENT IMMEDIATE PRIORITIES FOR StaBILIZATION, PEACEBUILDING AND RECONCILiatiON IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC PRESENTED at THE High-Level SIDE EVENT ON CAR AT THE 70TH UN GENERAL ASSEMBly, OCTOBER 1, 2015 Immediate PRIORITIES FOR StaBILIZATION, PEACEBUILDING AND RECONCILiatiON IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC FOREWORD At this crucial stage in the history of the Central African Republic (CAR), we are gathered here with you to keep the flame of hope alive after the organization of the consultations with the people of CAR, a historic moment for my country since the people of the 16 prefectures took part in these consultations. The Bangui National Forum that followed confirmed the commitment of the people to put CAR back on the road of stability, reconciliation and peace. This Forum, for the political class, Central African civil society and armed groups, led to a historic consensus to turn the page on the various crises and usher in a new chapter of hope where security, reconciliation, justice, the fight against impunity, governance and economic development are now positioned as the major priorities for CAR. This, then, is the ideal we are pursuing. Meanwhile, we must also overcome the last challenge of the transition, that of organizing and holding a range of elections, particularly the presidential and parliamentary polls. Holding free, credible, inclusive and transparent elections over the entire country before 30 December 2015, pursuant to the ECCAS decision of July 2015, will mark the return to constitutional order and the end of the transition period. In this regard it is important, urgent even, to mobilize substantial financial resources not only for the implementation of all the operations to do with the organization of credible elections whose results are accepted by all, but also and especially for the many challenges after the transition.

The report follows three visits by the Independent Expert and describes the overall evolution of the human rights situation in the Central African Republic together with major developments. The Presidential election raised great expectations among the population, which is looking forward to the implementation of the Government’s programme, especially as regards security and justice. The security situation is still marked by the heavy presence of armed groups throughout the territory, the threats they pose to the civilian population and to displaced persons living in camps or enclaves, intercommunity tension, issues linked to transhumance, clashes within armed factions, the widespread availability of small arms, surging crime rates, the absence of State authority and the marginalization of the population in the eastern part of the country. At the end of June 2016, the situation was still worsening. The Independent Expert underscores the importance of giving priority to ensuring the protection of civilians and immediately carrying out the reforms of the security sector that will make it possible to reassure civilians and to launch the other sectoral plans of action.

  • Central African Republic
    JANUARY 2016 COUNTRY SUMMARY Central African Republic A transitional government led by interim President Catherine Samba-Panza struggled to establish security in the Central African Republic. The Bangui National Forum, held in May, set the country on a path toward elections, but there was little progress on reconciliation, disarmament, and the reassertion of state control. Although the capital, Bangui, was relatively calm for the first half of the year, renewed sectarian violence gripped the city in late September. In 2015, at least 100 people died, of which at least 45 were civilians, shot at point blank range or stabbed to death or had their throats slit. Over 400 people were injured. Sectarian violence and attacks on civilians were widespread in central regions of the country, most notably in Ouaka province, where predominantly Muslim Seleka rebels and largely Christian and animist anti-balaka militias continued to fight each other. By the end of 2015, thousands had been killed on both sides and hundreds of villages burned. An estimated 456,000 people, the majority Muslim, remained refugees. A further 447,000 remained displaced internally. The United Nations peacekeeping mission, MINUSCA, deployed across many parts of the country, after taking over from African Union (AU) peacekeepers in 2014. They worked alongside French peacekeepers, known as Sangaris, to attempt to protect civilians and re- establish order. Their efforts were hampered by accusations that international peacekeepers were involved in sexual abuse of civilians, including children. Special representative of the secretary-general, Babacar Gaye, who led MINUSCA, resigned over the scandal. Impunity remained a serious challenge, although there was new hope with steps taken toward the establishment of a Special Criminal Court in the national justice system.

This violence in itself perpetuates the crisis as bloodshed feeds mistrust, fear, and the desire for revenge. Given the breakdown of law and order, the current crisis is a combination of multiple conflicts with national and local dimensions and violent crimes.”1 Chapter 1: Introduction The Central African Republic (CAR) is located in the heart of the African continent. Although being extremely rich in natural resources, it has been plagued by decades of instability after gaining independence from its former, but still very much present, colonial power, France. It has experienced many corrupt leaders and foreign backed coup d’états, that saw an extensive power vacuums and failed governments.
