Ambassador Smail Chergui, the African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, stated on social media: "I am humbled to announce that with the exemplary co-operation I received from both the government of the CAR(@GouvCF) and the 14 armed groups, we have secured a #peace agreement today in the interest of the people of #CAR." Separately on Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously on a resolution drafted by France that provides for a road map to lift the arms embargo on the CAR. This resolution states that the council will establish requisite benchmarks by April 30, ,2019 and will assess progress on these benchmarks by July 31, 2019. The council will then review the arms embargo measures by Sept. 30, 2019. The resolution welcomes "the significant efforts made by the CAR authorities" to advance security sector reform, including by developing a national defence plan and national security policy. This resolution acknowledged "the urgent need for the CAR authorities to train and equip their defence and security forces to be able to respond proportionately to threats to the security of all citizens in the CAR." The council stated that it had granted several exemptions to allow shipments of weapons from France, Russia, China, the United States and Belgium for the CAR army. Axmin's chairman and chief executive officer Lucy Yan stated: "Axmin is delighted to hear that a peace agreement has been reached in Khartoum and hope that this agreement will be honoured and bring security and stability to the CAR. The company believes that the combination of the agreement together with the eventual lifting of the arms embargo should provide both the framework for stability and also the effective method of enforcement by equipping and deploying the military forces of the government of the CAR. We look forward to being back on site and working on developing the Passendro asset as soon as conditions allow in the near future."
