Abstract

The Central African Republic (CAR) army, along with Russian mercenaries, conducted a large-scale operation in the southern region of the country, resulting in the killing of over 250 rebels from the Union for Peace in the CAR (UPC). In the northeast, CAR troops recaptured the town of Sikikede from the Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC) rebels after heavy clashes. However, the CPC claimed to have taken control of the town in a separate report. Wagner Group mercenaries were reportedly responsible for the killing of nearly 60 civilians in the northwestern CAR. The Azande Ani Kpi Gbe militia imposed a ban on predominantly Muslim traders in the eastern Haut-Mbomou region. Additionally, armed men kidnapped a dozen civilians in the western town of Yaloke.
