1.3 Stock Management

The political‐military conflict of 1998‐1999 put weapons in the hands of the population. The worst was the invasion and theft of most bunkers and depots of arms and munitions of war. Presently, the country has no storage facilities to ensure the safety of the public. Obviously, the precariousness of the facilities is a main factor facilitating the theft and proliferation of weapons, especially by the most socially deprived classes.

The military only has easily accessible containers: first, the locks can be violated at any time and, secondly, there are risks from temperature changes whose consequences are unpredictable.

Nevertheless, the Government, under the Defence and Security Sector Reform, with the support of partners, has numerous actions in order to remedy this grave situation.
