Attacks by the so-called Lord’s Resistance Army group in the Central Africa Republic (CAR) have “notably increased” in recent months.

That’s according to the head of the UN Regional Office for Central Africa (UNOCA), Abdoulaye Bathily.

The Special Representative was briefing the UN Security Council on the challenges faced by the whole region, in light of the continuing Boko Haram terror threat, and political upheaval.
