According to the United Nations, MINUSCA issued a statement on the 3rd, strongly condemning the attacks on the Central African Republic cities of Damara and Bangassou on January 2 and 3 local time, respectively.
The head of the United Nations MINUSCA, Mankel Ndiaye, said on the same day that the attacks launched by armed groups before and after the election in the Central African Republic were an attempt to obstruct the smooth progress of the Central African Republic elections, and MINUSCA will continue to ensure this within the framework of United Nations Security Council resolution 2552.
The security of the elections in the Central African Republic plays a role.
It is reported that nearly 2 million people participated in the election in the Central African Republic on December 27, 2020, local time, and the preliminary results of the first round of voting are expected to be obtained on January 4, despite frequent attacks by armed groups to obstruct the presidential and parliamentary elections in the Central African Republic.
