The Central African Republic is in shock. A massacre was perpetrated Wednesday in three villages in the area of ​​Paoua. The latest report shows 34 dead and 5 wounded. Attacks perpetrated by the armed group 3R of Sidiki Abass, signatory of the peace agreements, and of a scale never reached since the signing of these agreements on February 6th. Faced with this, Minusca and the authorities reacted quickly.

It is in a firm tone that the Minister of Communication and spokesman for the government, Ange-Maxime Kazagui, spoke. " The government is joining forces with Minusca to demand that Mr. Sidiki arrest and hand over the perpetrators of these massacres to the authorities within 72 hours under penalty of personal responsibility and responsibility. The same deadline is given to the 3R movement to dismantle its illegal bases and barriers, otherwise Minusca and the government will take the necessary measures. "

If he called not to give in to the temptation of reprisals, the minister strongly denounced " such acts of barbarism ".

Violence highlighted by Minusca spokesperson Ikavi Uwolowulakana: " The Minusca is particularly indignant at the cruelty of these attacks, which, in addition to being planned and coordinated, testify to the desire of the perpetrators to want to cause a large number of victims. "

The Minusca has also indicated that it will spare no effort in prosecuting the perpetrators, sponsors and accomplices of what could constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Mankeur Ndiaye, the representative of the UN Secretary General in the Central African Republic, denounced these " killings ". " The perpetrators of such crimes will be sought, arrested and brought to justice, " he said on his Twitter account.
