CAR dialogue may falter amid broader challenges
Tuesday, March 8, 2022
Significance
Nevertheless, the political situation remains extremely fragile, rebel activity continues, and allegations of human rights abuses and reports of conflicts over business interests continue to multiply.
Impacts
- The lack of trust between the government and opposition means the dialogue is not guaranteed to build a broader political consensus.
- Despite rumours of Wagner mercenaries transferring to Mali or Ukraine, the company remains central to the government’s security apparatus.
- Insecurity still plagues many areas and over half of CAR’s population will need humanitarian assistance.
