Description

The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic — a lynchpin country for broader regional stability — requires strong financial support amid UN systemwide liquidity constraints, the Organization’s top official in the country told the Security Council today, as several delegates hailed the Mission’s work to date as a “success story of UN peacekeeping”.

“MINUSCA’s mandate, with its full authorized strength, remains essential to support the Central Africans in their quest for a lasting peace,” said Valentine Rugwabiza, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). Noting that MINUSCA’s mandate renewal will soon be considered by the Council, she outlined the Mission’s recent strides in expanding Bangui’s authority, deploying security forces to remote areas and preparing for critical presidential, legislative and municipal elections scheduled for 28 December.
