UN Secretary General recommends deploying forces into CAR

The United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon recommended deploying a further 12,000 peacekeepers to the Central African Republic (CAR) today, as the nation faces an imminent humanitarian disaster.

The primary task of the UN deployment would be for “the protection of the civilians, Ban said in his report to the members of the United Nations Security Council.

The secretary general further outlined that the deployment was part of a “broader long term engagement of the international community” as the UN could not address all the immediate problems face in the CAR.
