Aperçu

Il y a eu au moins 22 attaques sur des civils en janvier 2018, dans la région frontalière de Mbomou-Uélé, lors desquelles au moins 5 civils ont été tués et 26 autres ont été enlevés. En févriern, l’on compte 30 attaques qui ont tué au moins 15 civils et mené à l’enlèvement de 25 autres. L’un des changements les plus significatifs de janvier-février 2018, en comparaison avec des périodes similaires des années précédentes, fut la réduction drastique de l’activité de la LRA, particulièrement au sujet de leurs enlèvements.

There were at least 22 attacks on civilians in the Mbomou Uele border region in January 2018, in which at least five civilians were killed and 26 others abducted. In February, there were 30 attacks, killing at least 15 civilians and abducting 25 others. One of the most significant changes in January–February 2018 relative to comparable periods in previous years was the dramatic reduction in LRA activity, particularly abductions.

Executive Summary

Overall levels of violence in the Mbomou-Uele border region* continued to decline in November compared to previous months, in part because the LRA committed fewer attacks (two) and abductions (zero) than it has in any month since at least June 2008. However, intercommunal conflict in Haut Mbomou and Mbomou prefectures of Central African Republic (CAR) did continue in November 2017, with armed men from the Peuhl community committing two attacks in which at least 20 civilians were killed.
