“After much negotiation, the armed groups of Grand-Ravine and Village-de-Dieu agree to take a break. They gave the guarantee that they would not carry out any act of kidnapping during this period, ”Le Nouvelliste cited a source as saying.

It is hazy how long the break will be however up until now, there have been no kidnappings in over a week and every one individual hijacked has been delivered with no payment paid.

“This action plan will allow the CNDDR to have the necessary means to apply the reintegration component which aims to build confidence among armed groups in order to achieve disarmament. You cannot disarm someone without giving them anything in return,” an individual from the CNDDR, talking on state of secrecy, told the paper.
