Central African Republic: First Security Council Visit

C.A.R. UN VISIT

My interview with Annecke Van Woudenberg, HRW Africa Advocacy Director, for RFI English:

It's a first: the U.N. Security Council is sending a delegation in the Central African Republic (CAR).

Its members arrived yesterday (Wednesday) in Bangui and will be travelling inside the country to meet with the national authority.

They are expected to condemn publically the atrocities still being perpetrated in the country by armed groups and militiamen since the coup from Seleka milice in March 2013.

Melissa Chemam spoke to Africa Advocacy Director at Human Rights Watch, Annecke Van Wounderberg, who is insisting that this visit comes at a key time to call again for no more impunity and to reassess security challenges.
