ABU DHABI, 27th June 2025 (WAM) -- The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned the attack targeting the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), near the town of Birao, which resulted in the death of a Zambian peacekeeper and the injury of another.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) underscored the UAE's strong condemnation of these criminal and terrorist acts, and its permanent rejection of all forms of violence, extremism and terrorism aimed at undermining security and stability.
