Repubblica Centrafricana #CAR, #Wagner controlla tutte le basi militari del paese
1/n Segnalati voli cargo russi da #Libia e #Sudan verso la Repubblica Centrafricana.
Cerchiamo di capire cosa accade...⬇️

La notizia non passa inosservata. Un aereo cargo Antonov An124 hanno preso il decollo dalla Libia e dal Sudan in direzione di Bangui. Sono stati segnalati in arrivo nel paese dalle 08.50 del mattino del 13 Maggio.
Le conferme visuali non tardano ad arrivare. Ciò che si ipotizzava stesse accadendo è divenuto ben presto un riscontro oggettivo. I cargo trasportavano, per conto della Wagner PMC, materiale bellico e sorprendentemente anche aerei da caccia militari di proprietà del gruppo: ImageImageImage

🇷🇺🇨🇲🇨🇫 "#Wagner agit en Centrafrique comme une multinationale."

Or, bois, café, sucre… La liste des produits des entreprises liées à #Wagner ne cesse de s’allonger en Afrique. (v/ @MathieuOlivier) @jeune_afrique 👇

🇷🇺 #Wagner est bien décidé de faire de la mine d’or l’une de ses principales rentes en terres centrafricaines.

Depuis Douala, le groupe Wagner a importé, pelles mécaniques, concasseurs et autres grues d’excavation indispensables aux activités aurifères de la mine de #Ndassima.
🇷🇺 De #Bambari à #Bangui, des véhicules sont loués environ 300 000 francs CFA par jour pour acheminer le gravier aurifère jusqu’aux machines de lavage. Quant aux chauffeurs, ils sont payés par le transporteur et nourris sur place, à #Ndassima. #Wagner

Sonderbare Meldungen kommen aus #Mali .
Dort ist es zu pro-russischen Demonstrationen gekommen, auf denen die Menschen eine russische Intervention forderten.
Sie hoffen so auf ein Ende des Bürgerkrieges.
Sudan und ZAR dürften als Vorbilder gedient haben.
Details im Thread👇
(1/6)
Die Demonstrationen dauern nun seit zwei Tagen.
Unter anderem werden solche Plakate verteilt, worin es heißt, dass Malesen ein Verteidigungsabkommen mit Russland fordern.
Demnach solle eine mögliche russische Intervention die Rebellen zurückschlagen und Bürgerkrieg beenden.

Als Vorbilder dienten wohl andere erfolgreiche russische Interventionen in afrikanischen Ländern.
Moskau schickte dabei nicht reguläre Truppen, sondern meist "Berater" und Söldner.
Fotos: russ.Söldner im Sudan.
P.S.: wen oder was sie auf Foto 4 schleppen, ist unbekannt.😅

#CentralAfricanRepublic (THREAD)

1) 200 to 300 rebels attacked the capital #Bangui today (PK9, PK11, PK12 & Bimbo areas).

Govt, #Russian & #Rwandan troops repelled them. But the rebels remain in the hills & areas surroundings the capital.

Read @CrisisGroup statement 👇
2) The rebels were generally equipped or light weapons (including #AK47 & grenades), several #RPG & probably mortars.

No report of the casualties yet.
3) It's unlikely that they really wanted to size the capital, if not they would have come in bigger number.

They seem to be trying to isolate the capital from the rest of the country that they already control largely & install an attrition warfare just at the capital doors.

1) CAR elections : preliminary lessons learned.

Thread (first part today, second part tomorrow)
2) #Touadera could be the biggest winner of the elections. Firstly, he will likely be reelected. Secondly, the recent events have weakened the opposition coalition #COD2020. Their failure to denounce #Bozize, when it became clear he was preparing a coup, eroded their reputation
3) #Russia, #Rwanda, #Portugal & #MINUSCA are among international winners.

# In only 3 weeks #MINUSCA & #Russia, whose reputations among the citizen were not always positive, have reversed those perceptions, at least for now.

# France on the contrary has it's back to the wall

#Russia-n mercenaries are now showing up everywhere in #Africa: one country in particular is the #CAR where Russians are also providing weapons. Also present in the #Niger Delta of #Nigeria actually helping the rebels that target the western oil companies. bit.ly/2KkU0OD
Fascinating story on how #Russia entered the #CAR. It was blocking a delivery of weapons from #France to #Bangui so #Macron told CAR President to go and convince Russia to unblock the sale. Instead Russia saw an opportunity to sell its own weapons to CAR. bit.ly/2rj8kyH
3 #Russian journalists killed in #CAR while filming #Wagner, the private military firm run by Evgeny #Prigozhin used especially in #Syria, part of #Putin's inner circle. Documentary was part of @tzurrealism, supported by Mikhail #Khodorkovsky.
