Return, Reclamation, Rehabilitation

Return, Reclamation, Rehabilitation (abbreviated 3R, French: Retour, Réclamation et Réhabilitation) is a rebel group in the northwestern part of Central African Republic.

Their former leader, Sidiki Abass, was sanctioned in 2020 by the United States government, and members of the group have been sentenced by the Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court.
