Demobilization -2020

In its June 9th report, the CTSAMVM suggested 75,000 registrations at cantonment sites and an additional 3,500 registrations outside. The Joint Military Ceasefire Commission (JMCC) suggested registering 18,732 Government and Other Organized Forces. The CTSAMVM reported a lack of resources to support the cantonment sites that were on the verge of collapse and risk approximately 35,000 combatants returning to their communities without the DDR process.^[1] The RJMEC, in its report, also noted the continued neglect of cantonment sites by the RTGoNU and asked for more support as the cantoned combatants and cantonment sites wait for the next phase.^[2] The DDR Commission was not able to deploy field coordination officers partly related to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[3]
