                Notice of May 10, 2023

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Central African Republic

                On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, the 
                President declared a national emergency pursuant to the 
                International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States constituted by the situation in and 
                in relation to the Central African Republic, which has 
                been marked by a breakdown of law and order; 
                intersectarian tension; the pervasive, often forced 
                recruitment and use of child soldiers; and widespread 
                violence and atrocities, including those committed by 
                Kremlin-linked and Yevgeniy Prigozhin-affiliated 
                entities such as the Wagner Group, and which threatens 
                the peace, security, or stability of the Central 
                African Republic and neighboring states.

                The situation in and in relation to the Central African 
                Republic continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States. For this reason, the national 
                emergency declared in Executive Order 13667 on May 12, 
                2014, to deal with that threat must continue in effect 
                beyond May 12, 2023. Therefore, in accordance with 
                section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 
                U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the 
                national emergency declared with respect to the Central 
                African Republic.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    May 10, 2023.
