Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witness for being here today.
In your testimony you mentioned rape being used in this conflict and said that 70% of the women living in four protected areas have been raped by police or soldiers. What can the international community do to ensure the urgently needed safety of these women? That is one part of the question.
The second is, you mentioned that the international community, the UN, is trying to get into these conflict areas but that unfortunately the government is not allowing them in. Even the AU is trying to work with the local government, but it is reluctant to work with the AU.
Given that, what else can the international community do? They're trying their best to immerse themselves within the conflict areas but are still, unfortunately, not getting anywhere with this government.
