137 Armed Group Members Voluntarily Surrender Weapons in Obo, UN Mission in Central African Republic Reports
The UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) reported on November 13, 2026, that 137 members of the Azande Ani Kpi Gbe armed group had voluntarily surrendered military weapons and ammunition in Obo, in the south-east of the country. The surrender followed intensive outreach by local authorities, with the Mission's support.
Obo lies in the south-east of the Central African Republic, near the border region, where armed-group activity has long affected civilian security. Voluntary disarmament is regarded as a step toward taking fighters off the battlefield and restoring local order, and the Mission presented it as a result of sustained local outreach.
The Mission's report did not set out detailed arrangements for the surrendered fighters. Their handling and any further change in the local security situation will depend on subsequent reporting by MINUSCA and the Central African authorities.
