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.

  • December 2016
    December 2016 Summary This submission focuses on abductions, killing, and maiming of children; the protection of education; sexual violence; and the rights of children with disabilities. It relates to Articles 2, 6, 19, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 37, 38, and 39 of the Convention, and proposes issues and questions that Committee members may wish to raise with the government. Human Rights Watch has conducted extensive field research and documented grave child rights violations since 2013.1 Background On December 10, 2012, the Seleka, an alliance of predominantly Muslim rebel groups from the marginalized northeast of the Central African Republic, began a military campaign against the government.2 The Seleka moved southwest into non-Muslim areas, killing thousands of civilians. On March 24, 2013, Seleka rebels took control of Bangui, the capital, and ousted President François Bozizé. Michel Djotodia, one of the Seleka leaders, suspended the constitution, and installed himself as interim president—a role to which he was subsequently appointed by the transitional government.3 In August 2013, animist and Christian militia known as “anti-balaka,” in an attempt to seize power and retaliate against the Seleka, began to target Muslim residents and committed serious human rights violations.4 President Djotodia dissolved the Seleka in September 2013. The Seleka were pushed out of Bangui and the southwest in early 2014 by African Union and French forces and established strongholds in the center and east. However, by October 2014, the Seleka had fractured into smaller groups, each controlling territory. The Central African Republic has experienced ongoing fighting since 2013.

  • La République Centrafricaine De L'authentique Panafricaniste
    RÉPONSE À LA LETTRE OUVERTE DES ORGANISATIONS « DIAPORA AFRICAINE EN EUROPE » ET « GROUPE AGIR EUROPE-AFRIQUE » La République Centrafricaine de l’authentique panafricaniste Barthélémy Boganda n’est pas votre marchepied. Le 7 janvier 2021 _____ Depuis plusieurs années, la République centrafricaine est devenue le repaire d’une nouvelle race de prédateurs : les prédateurs sous-couvert de panafricanisme. Des personnages qui présentent les mêmes caractéristiques générales s’y pavanent avec arrogance : souvent méconnus au bataillon dans leurs propres pays, présentant des capacités incertaines, dépourvus de tout passé et de tout arrière-plan de lutte, invités de luxe du pouvoir à Bangui, ils sont passés maîtres dans l’art peu glorieux de la production stéréotypée d’un discours servile cynique grassement rémunéré. Nous avons jusqu’à présent supporté leurs logorrhées et leurs récitations aussi grotesques qu’injurieuses. À présent, cela suffit ! À eux tous, moi, Jean-François AKANDJI-KOMBÉ, citoyen centrafricain et fier de l’être, je dis aujourd’hui : Vous êtes une insulte à la mémoire panafricaniste de notre père fondateur, Barthélémy BOGANDA, ainsi qu’à celle des pères et mères du panafricanisme ; une injure permanente à l’intelligence des centrafricains. Nous, centrafricains, nous nous souviendrons que vous avez délibérément choisi d’être une part du problème qui gangrène notre pays, parce que ce problème vous nourrit. Aux initiateurs de la lettre à laquelle j’ai décidé de répondre aujourd’hui, je dis ceci. Vous avez décidé d’en découdre avec les candidats et les partis de l’opposition démocratique de notre pays, à nous les Centrafricains. Il leur revient de vous répondre sur le fond et je les exhorte à le faire.

  • Central African Republic Rapid Response Conflict-Related Displacement 2014
    RESIDENT / HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR REPORT ON THE USE OF CERF FUNDS CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC RAPID RESPONSE CONFLICT-RELATED DISPLACEMENT 2014 RESIDENT/HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR Mr. Aurelien Agbenonci REPORTING PROCESS AND CONSULTATION SUMMARY a. Please indicate when the After Action Review (AAR) was conducted and who participated. See comnents below b. Please confirm that the Resident Coordinator and/or Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HC) Report was discussed in the Humanitarian and/or UN Country Team and by cluster/sector coordinators as outlined in the guidelines. YES NO c. See comments belowWas the final version of the RC/HC Report shared for review with in-country stakeholders as recommended in the guidelines (i.e. the CERF recipient agencies and their implementing partners, cluster/sector coordinators and members and relevant government counterparts)? YES NO See comment below Overall comments It should be noted that the consultation and the reporting process for this allocation has been hampered by several factors. First of all, the extensions of several projects has desynchronized the reporting process leading to the submission of inputs between August and December 2015. By that time, due the high level of staff turn over in CAR, the relevant resource persons were not always present in the country anymore. Finally, the majority of this reporting process has taken place at a time when CAR has been hit by a surge in violence between October and December 2015. This violence triggered a new CERF allocation under the rapid response window. Due to the difficulty of the context during which this reporting process was organised, the After Action Review (AAR) took place through discussions both at the inter cluster coordination forum and the Humanitairan Country Team.
