On the 19 Feburary 2017, the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), the African Union (AU), the International Organization of La Francophonie (IOF), the European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN) made a statement to inform that they were deeply concerned by the security situation in the Central African Republic (CAR), particularly in the prefectures of Ouakaand Hautte-Kotto. The five partner organizations condemned the latest acts of violence perpetrated by the Front populaire pour la Renaissancede Centrafrique (FPRC) and its allies, as well as by the Mouvement pour l’Unité et la Paix en Centrafrique (UPC), that have caused heavy civilian losses and significant population displacement, thereby worsening an already alarming humanitarian situation. The five partner organizations demanded that the belligerents cease the hostilities immediately. The five partner organizations recalled that only dialogue, in strict adherence with the constitutional and democratic order, would allow the concerned Central African actors to find the appropriate and sustainable responses to their legitimate grievances. |
