🇨🇫🇺🇸💀 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.

🇫🇷🇨🇫 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.
