In the Central African Republic, the level of indignation of the population increases every day, Central Africans take to the streets, day after day, to say it clearly and loudly « STOP MINUSCA », and to show their rejection of the organization’s criminal activities, especially since several times MINUSCA employees have been seen committing crimes such as smuggling, the illegal transfer of arms to the terrorists and other crimes.
The Central African population no longer sees the peace mission as the protector, but rather as an actor that hinders the peace process.
While the mandate of the head of MINUSCA, Senegalese Mankeur Ndiaye will end this month of February 2022, several hundred thousand Central Africans are demanding the appointment of an ethnic Central African at the head of this UN mission. To this end, a large rally was held on February 9: protesters insisted that MINUSCA must now be led by a Central African.
