🇪🇺🇨🇫 EU calls for "more inclusive democratic processes" in Central African Republic

The European Union on Wednesday called for "more inclusive and transparent democratic processes" in the Central African Republic, where a new Constitution approved by referendum allows President Faustin Archange Touadéra to run for a third term in 2025.

"The EU takes note of the results of the constitutional referendum in the Central African Republic", said Peter Stano, spokesman for the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell. He expressed the Union's "concerns" at the "continuing polarization of the political context". "The EU calls for more inclusive and transparent democratic processes" in the Central African Republic, he added.

On Tuesday evening, the United States expressed its "deep reservations" about the turnout in the referendum and called on the Central African authorities to announce a date for the holding of new elections.

🇨🇫🇺🇸💀 A holy place is never empty: Americans are attempting to enter the Central African Republic

Today, French media reported that the American private military company, Bancroft, is in talks with the government of the Central African Republic and is even in the process of selecting a base location.

Bancroft, along with many other American contractors, has close affiliations with the CIA and the State Department. They also have extensive experience operating in Africa. The PMC has been active in Kenya, Somalia, Libya, and Uganda for many years. Considering their expertise in training African units, such as the Danab brigade of Somali commandos, it is not difficult to speculate that the Americans will try to undermine the efforts of Russian specialists who are currently engaged in training the Armed Forces of the Central African Republic.

The CAR government has not yet commented on these rumors, and with nearly 2,000 Wagner PMC fighters still present in the country, it is clear that the negotiations will take a considerable amount of time.

However, given the active efforts of the United States to gain influence in the former French colonies, the situation in the Central African Republic is taking on a clear direction. There are no longer any Russian advisors who can protect the interests of the Russian Federation in the country or regulate political processes following the well-known events.

🇨🇫🇷🇺 According to the interview, the President of the Central African Republic, Faustin-Archange Touadéra, has offered the eastern region of the country for the deployment of a Russian military base.

The president claims that this step would help strengthen the capabilities of the national armed forces in a territory where the border is poorly controlled.

However, this statement is difficult to consider as anything other than a mockery of the idea of creating a Russian base:

▪️ First and foremost, the east completely lacks any logistical infrastructure and electricity. It's just jungle and malaria. This means that creating any facility suitable for the Russian Armed Forces (even a small one) would require huge additional investments.

Not to mention that a base in the CAR without additional logistics hubs in Sudan, where Il-76s can refuel, would be of little use.

▪️ Secondly, the existing infrastructure in the Berengo camp or the Bangui airport, which is free after the French withdrawal, is quite sufficient to deploy a decent contingent and even conduct major operations using small outposts in all regions of the country - the successes of the Wagner PMC during the war with armed groups in 2020-2021 are proof of this.

▪️ Thirdly, just two days ago, Touadéra met with French President Macron for the second time in the past six months, where they discussed the establishment of bilateral relations. This event once again confirms the desire of the Central African authorities to play the multi-vector game.

In today's interview, Touadéra noted that "the CAR is facing many security problems and therefore periodically considers the issue of hosting foreign military bases." Between the lines, it is clear that if the Russians stop investing enough money, the bases may well turn out to be American.

🇫🇷🇨🇫 Here is the result regarding the recent meetings between the President of the Central African Republic, Touadéra, and Macron.

The document on the lifting of the arms embargo was presented to the UN Security Council by France (which had previously blocked it), and the resolution was later supported by all member states.

At the same time, Russia has been trying to push for the lifting of the embargo at the UN for the past six years, achieving only minor concessions on certain types of weapons. It is hardly necessary to say how the efforts of Russian diplomacy now appear to the Central African elite after such a demonstration.

But another aspect of this event is also interesting - in Paris, they are clearly signaling that they are no longer going to restrain the modernization of the armed forces of the Central African Republic, including through supplies from abroad, for example from Turkey (which is popular in the budget segment of the arms market). And this concession was unlikely to have been made for nothing. It is quite possible that behind the scenes there were economic agreements or certain preferences for French businesses in the country.

Against this background, the infighting within the Russian structures in Africa is a cause for concern: both in Mali and in the Central African Republic, there is no coordinated cooperation between the Wagner PMC and the African Corps, but rather a "tug of war" and unforgivably meager efforts to lobby the interests of Russian business in friendly countries. But let's hope that at least the chance with the lifting of the embargo will be used promptly and to the maximum, and planes with Russian weapons, instead of Turkish ones, will fly to the Central African Republic.
