Security Council concerned at "minimal progress" on security issues

    NAIROBI
    The UN Security Council on Tuesday "expressed dismay at the negative impact of continued fighting" and at the minimal progress reported by the Secretary General's Special Representative, Oluyemi Adeniji, on security issues underpinning the consolidation of democracy. Stressing that the CAR government had "primary responsibility for maintaining peace and security", Council members underlined the need for it to restructure the armed forces, keep special defence forces from assuming law and order functions beyond their mandate and ensure a secure environment in the run-up to elections slated, in two rounds, for 29 August and 2 September.
