Dr Ibrahim Mahamat Djimet
Chad & Central African Republic Expert — Human Rights, Political Situation & Asylum Cases
London, United Kingdom
Our specialist expert witness for Central African Republic team delivers asylum reports covering sectarian violence between Seleka and Anti-balaka groups, ethnic targeting, sexual violence, child soldier recruitment, and political instability.
The Central African Republic remains trapped in a cycle of sectarian violence, with communities targeted based on religious and ethnic identity by armed groups including former Seleka and Anti-balaka factions. Our expert witness for Central African Republic provides the analysis needed to explain these complex dynamics to immigration tribunals.
Moreover, our expert witness for Central African Republic reports draw on credible sources including UNHCR, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and US State Department reports. Consequently, tribunals can be confident in the evidence we present.
Armed groups continue to target civilians based on religious and ethnic identity, with Muslim communities facing Anti-balaka violence and Christian communities facing Seleka-aligned attacks.
Specific ethnic groups face collective punishment and forced displacement based on perceived affiliation with armed factions.
Sexual violence is widespread, used by all parties to the conflict as a weapon of war and tool of intimidation.
Armed groups recruit children as combatants, spies, and forced labourers, with those who escape facing severe retaliation.
The government’s limited territorial control means that state protection is unavailable in most of the country.
The presence of Russian Wagner Group mercenaries has added a new dimension of civilian harm, with documented massacres and human rights violations.
