The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 1778
(2007), by which the Council requested me to report to it every three months on the
security and humanitarian situation in eastern Chad, the north-eastern Central
African Republic and the region, including movements of refugees and internally
displaced persons and progress made in creating security conditions conducive to
their voluntary return. The report covers major developments since my report of
1 April 2008 (S/2008/215), including the deployment of the United Nations Mission
in the Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT), the European Union-led
military force (EUFOR Chad/Central African Republic) and the Détachement
intégré de sécurité (DIS).
