UN outlines options to tackle security threats

New York, 11 Aug-(ANA)-The United Nations has proposed strengthening the Central African Republic (CAR) to enable it to effectively tackle security and humanitarian challenges when UN peacekeepers withdraw from the country at the end of the year.    
Presenting Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon’s latest report , Mr. Youssef Mahmoud noted that the threat to civilians, internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees and humanitarian workers in north-eastern CAR remained real. 

 “The lack of sustained progress in combating security threats in north-eastern
CAR is mainly the result of the weak presence of its armed forces and the lack
of logistical and other means for its operations,” he added.   
Mr. Ban said in his report that the overall security situation in north-eastern 
CAR continues to suffer from inter-ethnic conflict, banditry and cross-border
criminal activity. (ANA)
