Storyline

During his last day in Bangui, Central African Republic, the deputy secretary-general of the United Nations visited a Muslim enclave where he stressed the need for national unity and reconciliation.

Addressing the community, Jan Eliasson said that "we must not divide nations by religious or ethnic lines” adding that, “this is a very serious danger in the world today, not only here in Africa, but also in Europe or the United States. Everywhere the division threatens us. We must be together and always go in the direction of peace. "

Later, he visited afterward the M’poko camp, one of the largest camps for displaced in the Central African Republic that houses some 20,000 people who have fled violence since 2013.

After speaking with some of the displaced, he said, “I am on your side, and I will speak with conviction. The words you said to me live in me. "

Eliasson was on a three-day visit to Bangui, two weeks before the Brussels conference for the Central African Republic, on November 17, where he will lead the UN delegation.
