We remain deeply concerned by the violence in the Central African Republic. The fact that the unrest has spread to locations and communities, such as Boda, which were previously relatively untouched is particularly troubling. In our position as a member of the UN Security Council we are committed to ensuring that the United Nations peacekeeping mission (MINUSCA) has the tools to provide effective protection for civilians, specifically the most vulnerable, such as women and children.
