<p>We are aware of the emergence of a new armed militia group called "Return,
Reclamation, Rehabilitation," or "3R" which operates in the north of
the Central African Republic (CAR). This group, and other militias operating in the
transhumance corridors in the Ouham prefecture in northern CAR, are responsible for
some of the most violent incidents reported in the country in the last 12 months.</p><p>We
are also aware of recent claims that 3R is responsible for sexual violence, burning
villages and displacing vulnerable people, with some reports listing the number of
those displaced at 17,000. However, we do not hold information on the capacity of
3R or the weapons they possess.</p><p>We support President Touadera's efforts to implement
disarmament, demobilization, repatriation and reintegration and call on all armed
groups in the CAR to engage in the government's dialogue.</p>
