SITUATION OVERVIEW
Central African Republic (CAR): The security situation in Central African Republic is calm but unpredictable. The week of 22 to 28 March has seen a decrease of incidents by anti-Balaka in Bangui.
Reasons for this decrease could be attributed to a strengthening in the presence of international security forces in close collaboration with local authorities. A request from the Secretary General to the UN Security Council authorizing the increase of MINUSCA (Mission multidimensionnelle intégrée des Nations unies pour la stabilisation en Centrafrique) personnel to strengthen the joint task force in Bangui.
Currently, there are 436,256 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in CAR, including 49,113 people in Bangui (Source: Commission for Population Movement ).
