Top 7 military conflicts today. Wagner PVC and civil war in the king
The insurgents then accused the current President François Boziz of non -observance of peace agreements, which were signed in 2007. Behind them, the authorities guaranteed amnesty to the participants of the Insurgent Seleka group. In this way, the previous exacerbation has stopped, which lasted since 2001. In 2013, the rebels moved to the Bangi capital and began terror against the non -Muslim population (most of the Seleka group - Muslims).
In response, Christians of the republic began to form detachments of self -defense, which were also remembered by ethnic cleansing against representatives of other ethno -religious groups. Responding to these bloody events, the UN introduced the embargo on weapons to the country, and France introduced troops to protect the legitimate government. However, most of the territory the king remained under the control of Christian and Muslim rebel groups that continued to fight each other.
The mission of the French military ended three years later. Immediately after the French contingent, the Seleka rebels tried to interfere with the post of newly elected President Fosten-Arzan Tuder. Then the head of the country sought help to the Russian Federation. Moscow in love has accepted in exchange for control over minerals of the country - mainly gold and diamonds. The Russian military mission was approved by the UN in 2017.
Officially, Russian military instructors are preparing the King's government staff. However, unofficial information in the country also operates special units of the so -called private military company (PEC) "Wagner", which protect the places of mining, in particular, diamond mines. In 2018, the Wagnets "lit up" their base, which was the former residence of the Emperor of the Central African Empire, a dictator-man of a bocassia, which ruled the country 50 years ago.
In the summer of the same year, members of the Russian Cherry Affairs group were killed near this place in mysterious circumstances, who came to this base a day before their death in order to remove the plot to the documentary about the Wagner PEC, but they were not allowed to shoot because of the missing accreditation. .
Journalist Orhan Dzhemal, operator Kirill Radchenko and director Alexander Rastorguev were engaged in filming about the Wagnets in the king at the request of the "Investigation Center" of the Russian oppositionist and former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky. On July 30, 2018, their bodies were found on the road near the city of Sibyu, located 200 km north of the capital of Bangi.
At first it was believed that they were killed for robbery, but a few months later, private investigators were close to Mikhail Khodorkovsky that members of Wagner PECs were involved in the murder. In January 2022, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the king stated that the shooting group was killed by representatives of the local group of rebels. The question of this mysterious murder remains open.
Given the high level of distrust between different investigative entities, a version of events is unlikely to be presented, which will satisfy all interested. In 2019, with the help of mercenaries the government, the king, striking the rebels, put them at the negotiation table. The Hartum Armistice with 14 rebel groups was signed.
On the eve of the next elections in 2021, François Bozise was removed from the elections due to the sanctions of the UN in connection with the accusation of human rights violations. Then he, together with 6 rebel groups, announced his intention to disrupt the elections (interesting that they were the same Muslim fighting units that fought with Boziz in 2013!).
They were opposed by the Government Army and, according to unofficial sources, the Wagner group itself, which increased power through the transfer of units from Libya and other African states. In the spring, the Wagnerians defeated the rebel forces and came close to their strongholds. At the same time, international organizations accuse Wagner PEC in numerous cases of illegal abductions of people, torture and other forms of violation of fundamental human rights.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU and France stopped providing financial assistance to the government until it proves that these funds are not referred to payment of mercenaries. However, the Russian mercenaries seem to provide themselves - for the last half a year the king has received information about the plundering of gold -productive mines by PVC fighters, the US Secretary of State Previously stated this.
