SITUATION OVERVIEW
Central African Republic (CAR): The first steps toward peace dialogue in CAR will take place at the upcoming CAR National Reconciliation Forum in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, from 21 to 23 July. The initiative will bring Anti-Balaka and Seleka representatives to the table for talks in an effort to cease hostilities and prepare for national reconciliation discussions to be held in CAR. The Economic Community of Central Africa States, the UN and the African Union will mediate the forum.
Security in CAR remains unpredictable, especially in northern CAR toward the Chad border, on the Sibut-Kagabandoro-Moyen-Sido Axe and in Bambari. Several recent incidents underscore the need for continued vigilance in humanitarian operations.

The population of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) in Bangui, despite fluctuations, continues to gradually decrease. There are currently 105,300 IDPs at some 43 sites in the city (Source: CMP Dashboard, 8 July). In June, the IDP figure was just over 117,300. Overall IDP figures countrywide are now estimated at 535,000.
IOM’s sixth return intention survey of IDPs in Bangui, Central African Republic indicates a continuing gradual decrease in the number of people intending to return home and a continuing struggle to meet daily needs.
