Meanwhile, reports indicate that two Wagner paramilitaries were killed in an ambush by armed rebels in northern parts of the Central African Republic.
The paramilitaries from the Russian private military company the Wagner Group were killed in an ambush by suspected fighters from the Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC) in the Ouham-Pende region's Bossemptele province, according to media.
It should be noted that while the Central African authorities recognize military agreements with Russia and the presence of Russian instructors to train the national army, they do not acknowledge any deal with the Russian private security company.
Mercenaries from the Wagner Group summarily beat up and executed civilians from February 2019 to November 2021 in the country, according to a report released in early May by Human Rights Watch (HRW).
