STORYLINE:
Faustin Archange Touadera, President of the Central African Republic (CAR), reiterated his country’s support for “the common position of the African Union, which calls for the in-depth reform of the UN and the expansion of the seats of the members of the Security Council for fairer participation and more representative of all continents.”

Speaking at the General Assembly High-Level Debate on Tuesday (20 Sep), Touadera congratulated “the significant progress that has made it possible to substantially lift the arms embargo imposed on our Defense and Security Forces.”

He conveyed the gratitude of the Central African people to all countries who support CAR’s demand for the total lifting of the embargo.

Touadera added, “I deplore the maneuvers tending to legitimize the armed groups and to maintain the embargo insidiously. Whose profit from the crime?”

On 29 July 2022, the Security Council extended its arms embargo against the Central African Republic — as well as a travel ban and assets freeze imposed on certain individuals and entities, as designated by its sanctions committee — for one year, eased some of the embargo’s restrictions and renewed for 13 months the mandate of the Panel of Experts tasked with assisting that body.
