  • A senior United States Africa envoy on Monday warned against potential destabilisation in the Central African Republic (CAR) ahead of presidential elections slated for December. On his first visit to the country, which is ravaged by unrest despite a peace accord inked last year, US Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Tibor Nagy warned the electoral process must be transparent. He said Washington would oppose any moves, by "individuals or countries" to destabilise the country, when asked about Russia's military role in CAR. Moscow's involvement includes training and arms deliveries to troops, as CAR seeks to stem violence by armed groups that control around two-thirds of the territory, fighting over its rich mineral resources. Unrest persists despite the signing of a peace deal last February between the government and 14 armed groups. Ahead of Nagy's arrival, the US embassy said his visit "underscores the US commitment to supporting peace and stability in CAR" through the peace deal, adding Washington was "working in close cooperation with other international partners to strengthen CAR's democratic institutions". Nagy is the highest-ranking US official to visit the country since then-US ambassador to the UN Samantha Power in 2016. The embassy on January 15 underscored the fact the US is the largest donor of humanitarian aid in CAR, providing a quarter of overall UN funding there. Nagy tweeted he had "received a warm welcome" from President Faustin-Archange Touadera and valued the "strong US-CAR relationship". Touadera faces challenges to power following the unexpected return of two former presidents to the country -- Francois Bozize, who returned from exile in Uganda in mid-December -- and Michel Djotodia, who overthrew Bozize in 2013 and now is also back in the country. Bozize took power following a 2003 coup before being overthrown 10 years later by Djotodia, head of the mainly Muslim Seleka rebellion in the predominantly Christian country. clt/js/jh/cdw/klm
