12. SOUNDBITE (French) Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, United Nations:
“We took stock of a number of important advances, notably in the redeployment of the State's presence, as well as the stabilization efforts that are bearing fruit in several parts of the territory, the progress made in disarming members of the armed group, and the fact that a number of armed groups have withdrawn from armed struggle and reintegrated into civilian life. Of course, we also discussed the prospect of next year's electoral cycle, an electoral cycle which we, through MINUSCA and our UN partners, have begun to actively support in preparation.”
[French Transcript]
« Nous avons fait le point d'un certain nombre de progrès importants réalisés, notamment dans le redéploiement de la présence de l'État, en ce qui concerne aussi les efforts de stabilisation qui portent leur fruit dans plusieurs parties du territoire, les progrès réalisés en matière de désarmement des membres du groupe armé, du fait qu'un certain nombre de groupes armés, d'ailleurs, se sont retirés de la lutte armée, se sont réintégrés dans la vie civile. Nous avons bien sûr évoqué la perspective du cycle électoral à venir l'année prochaine, cycle électoral que nous avons, à travers la MINUSCA et nos partenaires des Nations Unies, commencé à soutenir activement la préparation de ce cycle électoral ».
