Chad had requested that MINURCAT leave as it had not been fully deployed, did not protect civilians or build promised infrastructure projects;[2] the Government of Chad would then assume primary responsibility for the protection of civilians.[3] The Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in his report on the situation, suggested that the mandate of MINURCAT be extended for an additional year, noting the continued instability in the northeastern part of the Central African Republic bordering Chad and Sudan, and the need to protect refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan.[4] In this manner, a phased withdrawal of the United Nations military component could then take place if the Council agreed to his proposals.
