The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday unanimously adopted a resolution extending sanctions against armed groups and individuals operating in the Central African Republic.
The measures include asset freezes, travel bans, and restrictions on supplying weapons and military equipment to armed groups.
Council members acknowledged Bangui’s gains in democratic governance, security, and state authority.
But they warned that armed groups and cross-border arms networks continue to threaten stability, particularly in border regions.
Speaking before the vote, French Ambassador Jérôme Bonnafont said, “significant progress" has been made in recent years but said the security situation remains "fragile."
