Description

Briefing the Security Council today on the latest developments in Central Africa, a senior United Nations official described electoral gains coupled with security setbacks, as Council members welcomed the former, expressed concern over the latter and noted the additional threat posed by financial constraints on humanitarian operations.

Highlighting recent progress in the region was Abdou Abarry, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Central Africa and Head of the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa (UNOCA), as he presented the latest Secretary-General’s report (document S/2025/342). He noted the conclusion of Chad’s political transition and Gabon’s “irrevocable progress towards the full restoration of Constitutional order”, which enabled that country to rejoin the bodies of the African Union.
