While serious violence has occurred recently in the country, particularly in Batangafo and Alindao, the National Assembly decided in an extraordinary initiative to raise a cry of alarm to the international community by inviting all the diplomatic corps in the Chamber. The new Speaker of the National Assembly Ngon Baba read a statement to the ambassadors (Fance, EU, Russia, United States ...) and to the representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations.

They were all in the front row to listen to the Speaker of the National Assembly. Laurent Ngon Baba returns to his statement: " It is the suffering of the population that has just been translated by this cry of alarm to ask the Security Council to share the suffering of the Central African population, and to express their solidarity by lifting the embargo completely to allow all those who want to help the Central African Republic to equip the armed forces with weapons and ammunition to enable them to be deployed jointly with Minusca throughout the country in order to protect the population. "

The lifting of the embargo, support for the initiative of the African Union and unconditional renewal of the mandate of the Minusca are the three points raised by Laurent Ngon Baba. The Minusca has been much criticized by the Prime Minister this week ... The representative of the UN Secretary-General Perfect Onanga Anyanga says that the mission is doing everything possible and that the political action must be more offensive.

" We all need to do more work upstream: politics, to occupy the field. Since a dialogue is taking place, it is necessary that this dialogue be maintained so that each and every one hears reason. Unfortunately, there is not always a military response to all the situations we face. "

Political involvement on the ground still difficult in this territory still held more than 70% by armed groups.
