The Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), Antonio Guterres on Wednesday ordered for the immediate release of four soldiers of the Foreign Legion of the French army operating for the United Nations mission in Central Africa (MINUSCA).
Recall that four soldiers of French, Italian, Romanian and Bulgarian nationality were arrested outside Bangui airport while accompanying a French general on Monday.
The Bangui public prosecutor who has opened a regular investigation to shed light on the facts said the soldiers were travelling in an unmarked vehicle not bearing the UN logo.
