answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>​The UN Peacekeeping Mission (MINUSCA) in the Central African Republic (CAR) has deployed military troops to the west, centre and east of the country, primarily for the protection of civilians.</p><p>With approximately 70 per cent of the territory controlled by armed groups, achieving stability outside of Bangui, remains extremely challenging. Flashpoints of violence between armed groups and unprovoked attacks towards humanitarian workers and civilians occurs too often. The UK will continue to monitor the security situation, engaging closely with MINUSCA and non-governmental organisations on the ground. However, in order to achieve peace in CAR, efforts to stabilise the country in the short term must go hand-in-hand with longer-term progress on reconciliation, justice, and state building.</p><p>MINUSCA is mandated to support the African Union Peace Process and the UK will monitor the recently announced peace deal, closely.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 25/02/2019 16:20:01 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
