Børn, der er blevet fravristet bevæbnede grupper og genforenet med deres familier, bliver nu genrekrutteret i Den Centralafrikanske Republik. Situationen i landet beskrives af FN som “meget skrøbelig”.

BANGUI, 9. April 2013 (UN News Service): More than two weeks after armed rebels seized power, the political and security situation in the Central African Republic continues to be “highly volatile,” a United Nations envoy said Tuesday, stressing the need to restore the rule of law in the country.

“The return to legality is extremely critical,” the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in the Central African Republic (BINUCA) Margaret Vogt said in New York via teleconference after briefing the Security Council.

Ms. Vogt warned that humanitarian access remains limited, looting (plyndringer) is still pervasive, and children are being recruited by armed forces.

“The security situation continues to be very delicate and fragile,” she said. “We are particularly concerned by reports that some children that we had separated from armed groups and had been reunited with their families are now being re-recruited.”

Ms. Vogt emphasized that following the Libreville Agreements are essential to restore legality in the country.

The Agreements were signed on 11 of January in Gabon, and call for the establishment of National Transitional Council that would elect a transitional Government.
