Opposition concern over post-MINURCA problems

    NAIROBI

    Within the CAR, reaction to MINURCA's withdrawal has been mixed, news agencies reported. Gabriel Koyambounou of the ruling Mouvement pour la liberation du peuple centrafricain (MLPC) said his party was not worried about the force's departure. "Now, it is up to the government to handle the post-MINURCA era," he told Radio France Internationale. But an opposition leader, Abel Goumba, said it was regrettable that MINURCA had left before the full implementation of the 1997 Bangui peace accords. "Out
    of the over 300 recommendations resulting from the Bangui agreements, only 10 or 15 percent have been realised....The CAR is confronted with never-ending insecurity," he was quoted as saying.
