The UN has accused the Wagner Ti Azande group, linked to the CAR military, of executing civilians and committing rape during violent attacks. The victims primarily belonged to Muslim communities and included refugees. The report demands accountability to prevent future violations and sheds light on the ongoing instability in CAR despite some improvements in security.
The United Nations has reported that armed groups, including one associated with the military, have committed atrocities against civilians in the Central African Republic (CAR) during attacks in both October and January. The report identifies the Wagner Ti Azande (WTA) group, which has connections to the national army, as a primary actor in these coordinated assaults. It is noted that the WTA, an offshoot of the Azande Ani Kpi Gbe (AAKG), participated actively in these brutal actions particularly in the southern regions of Mbomou and Haut-Mbomou.
The UN’s findings underscore the urgent need for accountability in the Central African Republic, particularly concerning the actions of the WTA and its ties to the national army. Despite recent improvements in the region’s stability, the ongoing targeting of vulnerable populations, particularly Muslims and refugees, remains a significant concern. The international community must respond to ensure justice and protect the rights of all citizens.
