CAR : UN Sanctions Abdoulaye Miskine

The UN Security Council has imposed sanctions on Central African Republic (CAR) former rebel leader Abdoulaye Miskine, who was last year one of the signatories of a peace agreement between the government and armed groups. The peace agreement was signed in Khartoum between CAR President Faustin Archange Touadera and the heads of 14 armed groups.
In the latest report dated, April 20, 2020, UN experts monitoring sanctions and arms embargo imposed in 2013, said the self-proclaimed general is recruiting fighters.
Under the terms of the February 6, 2019 accord, Miskine, founder and head of the Democratic Front of the Central African People (FDPC), was apointed technical adviser in the government, while other rebel leaders were given senior government positions with the aim of helping to cement the peace deal, but he never took the post he was offered, according to Bangui authorities. He abandoned his stronghold in the West of the country, along the Cameroonian border, to settle on the Sudanese border, near Amdafok, the new hotspot for fighting between rebel groups. On November 19, 2019, he fell into the hands of Idriss Deby Itno, during a trip to Chad and was imprisoned there despite a demand for extradition from CAR.
The UN sanctions against Abdoulaye Miskine, whose real name is Martin Koumtamadji, include the freezing of his asserts and travel ban. He was already under sanctions from the United States of America. Today he joins Nourredine Adam, the former head of Ex Seleka and head of the FPRC on the list.
