Mediation by the OAU led to the Bangui Agreements of January 1997 and brought the Inter-African Mission to monitor their implementation. The Inter-African Mission was replaced in April 1998 by the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic (MINURCA), which remained in operation until February 2000. In November 1999 legislation was passed to restructure and reduce the size of the Presidential Security Unit, a force parallel to the military which was known for human rights violations. These plans have been delayed by lack of funds for severance pay and pensions for armed forces members. The loyalty of the military to the civilian government continues to remain doubtful.
