As a result of an armed attack by unknown persons in the Verkhnyaya Cotto region, 10 civilians were killed in the Central African Republic (TsA).
According to the national press reports, the armed group attacked civilians who moved on motorcycles from the IPPI village to the city of Bria.
6 drivers of motorcycles and taxis, as well as four passengers, were killed in the attack.
It is reported that security forces and fighters of the Wagner PMC were sent to the BRIA mining city.
Such armed groups as the Seleka, Anti-Balak, 3R (return, demand, reorganization), the world union (UPC), the patriotic movement of the TsA (MPC) and the Resistance Army of the Lord (LRA), are struggling to control the regions rich in natural resources.
The rebellious groups, united under the name of the coalition of patriots for changes (CPC), in December 2020 attempted to capture the capital of the banks, but failed.
Since 2013, acts of violence have been continuing in the country, which died thousands of people, mostly Muslims, and more than a million people were forced to leave their homes.
