In Central African Republic (CAR), the cooperation between an armed group and the national authorities has led to the release of 18 detainees. Subsequently, the government of CAR acted on several occasions as a mediator for disarmament and repatriation of members of armed groups.
At the 2015 Bangui Forum, facilitated by UNICEF and MINUSCA, it was agreed that 10,000 children would be released from armed groups. This was followed by several actual releases and public ceremonies.
