UN extends Central African Republic peacekeeping mission to 2027

The United Nations Security Council has unanimously voted to extend its peacekeeping operation in the Central African Republic until November 15, 2027. Africa News says the renewed mandate will allow peacekeepers to continue supporting the government’s efforts to restore stability and strengthen state institutions. The mission will assist in deploying national security forces, including a pilot project to establish a garrison army. It will also support disarmament, the reintegration of former combatants and efforts to combat human rights abuses. Liberia, speaking on behalf of several African countries, has stressed that the transfer of security responsibilities to local institutions must be backed by adequate funding and resources. The Central African Republic says continued international support is essential to ensuring that peacekeeping efforts leave behind strong institutions capable of maintaining lasting peace.
