The security situation remains volatile across the Central African Republic (CAR) with numerous armed groups continuing to operate, many of them forming, merging and dissipating at short notice. Violence has been driven by the rebel groups Union for Peace in the Central African Republic (UPC) and Return, Reclamation, Rehabilitation (3R), as well as from the recent expansion of self-defence group Azandé Ani Kpi Gbé in south-eastern CAR, which often targets civilians. However, there have been recent improvements in security, including in the capital Bangui, following greater cooperation between the UN Peacekeeping Mission (MINUSCA) and the Central African Armed Forces.
