“In the Central African Republic, our peacekeeping mission, MINUSCA, continues supporting the government to build peace and extend state authority, including through the rehabilitation of road infrastructure and community violence reduction. A bridge destroyed during armed groups’ attacks in January 2021 was rebuilt with the Mission’s support in Nyakari, in Mbomou prefecture. It enables safe transportation for the local population, rapid deployment of UN peacekeepers, and the delivery of humanitarian assistance. The Mission also helped improve detention conditions at the Bouar prison, in Nana Mambere prefecture, and trained 25 detainees in new skills to facilitate their socio-professional reintegration and offer them an alternative to recruitment by armed groups.”
