The UN spokesperson said peacekeeping colleagues report progress on disarmament, demobilization and reintegration operations in the Central African Republic, with "close to 800" combatants from UPC, 3R and anti-Balaka groups disarmed and demobilized since July.
Yesterday, 53 former combatants were disarmed and demobilized in Nufu, the spokesperson said — the highest single-day number since the resumption of large-scale DDR operations in July. The mission provided logistical, security and financial support, as well as medical assistance and school kits to communities.
The spokesperson described the operations as ongoing and supported by the peacekeeping mission’s technical and logistical capacities. No timelines for full reintegration or budget figures for the DDR effort were announced during the briefing.
