MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th December, 2018) The Western states prevent the government of the Central African Republic (CAR) to resume control of the country by blocking in the UN Security Council the deliveries of the second batch of the Russian arms to the republic, Andrei Kemarsky, the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department of Africa, told Sputnik.
"A good example is the story with the UN Security Council's sanctions committee addressing the issue of sending the second batch of Russian weapons to the CAR. There is an agreement that it is necessary to strengthen the car national security sector, but now we are being told that the CAR does not have proper conditions for storing [the weapons],"� Kemarsky said in an interview.
However, the storage facilities for the delivery of 1,400 French rifles, seized from smugglers, were "suddenly" found, the diplomat added.
"Thus, guided by their selfish considerations, Western countries are hindering the reestablishment of the combat-ready power structures in the CAR and the restoration of the authority of a legitimate government across the country," Kemarsky concluded.
