Page "Central African Armed Forces" Paragraph 14

The forces assisting Bozizé in seizing the power in 2003 were not paid what they were promised and started looting, terrorising and killing ordinary citizens.

Summary executions have taken place with the implicit approval of the government.

The situation has deteriorated since early 2006 and the regular army and the presidential guard regularly execute extortion, torture, killings and other human rights violations.

There is no possibility for the national judicial system to investigate these cases.

At the end of 2006, there were an estimated 150, 000 internally displaced people.

During a UN mission in the northern part of the country in November 2006, the mission had a meeting with a prefect who said that he could not maintain law and order over the military and the presidential guards.

The FACA conducts summary executions and burn houses.

Only on the route between Kaga-Bandoro and Ouandago, some 2, 000 houses have been burnt, leaving an estimated 10, 000 persons homeless.
