Updating the Council on events since President Faustin-Archange Touadéra declared a unilateral ceasefire last October, Special Representative Mankeur Ndiaye – who also heads the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the country (MINUSCA) – alerted that “the security situation remains worrying”.
In some parts of the territory, military operations are underway against armed groups, notably the Coalition of Patriots for Change, he said. In turn, these militia are carrying out reprisals against both the national security forces and the population.
