...back in the bad old days, slaves were their cash crop, but now it’s oil...
in the north of the country, CAR radio station Lengo Songo reported.

“The armed forces of the Central African Republic and their Russian allies repelled <...> an attack by armed bandits <...> at a mining site in the village of Mamu,” the report says.

It is noted that the attack was carried out by a group of Sudanese bandits.

During the joint military operation, one of the leaders of the Coalition of Patriots for Change group,
...since 2020 a coalition of rebel groups that succeeded the primarily Christian Anti-balakas, formed to disrupt the presidential election that year in support of former President Francois Bozize. The next year, the Wagner group recruited a bunch of Anti-balakas to form their Black Russians auxiliary...
Mohamed Ali, nicknamed B-13, was eliminated, the radio station added.

As Regnum reported, on January 18, the Russian Ambassador to Bangui, Alexander Bikantov, spoke about negotiations on the deployment of a Russian base in the Central African Republic. According to him, the appearance of Russian forces would strengthen security in this country.

Currently, there are 1,890 Russian instructors in the CAR. He emphasized that the republican authorities want to increase their number, but the specific timing and possible size of the contingent are still being discussed, the diplomat added.
