MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st November, 2019) EU ministers agreed Thursday to send a Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) mission to the Central African Republic to advise the country's Interior Ministry, according to a press release.
"The Council adopted a crisis management concept for a new civilian CSDP Advisory Mission in the Central African Republic," the release read.
The adoption of the concept is the first step toward sending a civilian mission to the African nation to help reform its security strategy, support security forces, police and gendarmerie.
The European Union sent a military training mission to the Central African Republic in 2016 in support of a UN peacekeeping force that has been stationed there since 2014 in response to a bloody religious conflict that gripped the country a year before.
