Reduction of MINURCA to be conducted in stages

    NAIROBI

    Annan proposed that the reduction of MINURCA be conducted in stages, with the first batch of three infantry companies departing Bangui by mid-December 1999. He added that to finalise the possible mandate and requirements of a post-conflict peace-building presence of the UN in CAR, a small multi-disciplinary mission will be dispatched to Bangui, led by the Department of Political Affairs and UNDP. “The mission will proceed on the assumption that in accordance with the wishes of the authorities of the Central African republic, the United Nations will maintain a presence in the country following the termination of the mandate of MINURCA,” he said.
