CEOAFRICA.com received a report from Central African Republic that authorities have begun a new disarmament campaign aimed mainly at rebels who overthrew the president in March.

This was disclosed, according to sources, by the country’s Minister of Public Security Jose Binuoua that the campaign would help to checkmate various vices ascribed to the Seleka rebel movement. He also said the rebel fighters living in parts of the capital, Bangui, outside six designated military barracks, will also be disarmed.

According to him, any Seleka fighter walking around with a weapon outside those areas should hand over their weapon at a designated location and the campaign would last for ten days.

The campaign is being carried out by police under the supervision of officers from Seleka and the CAR's armed forces.
