CAR: REBEL GROUPS CHANGE STRATEGY TO PLACE A CHOKEHOLD ON THE CAPITAL BANGUI

   Thu, 07 January 2021

A rebel offensive to capture Bangui has stalled due to Russian and Rwandan military support for the newly re-elected government. However, in coming weeks and months the capital Bangui will be choked by armed groups that occupy the main supply routes for food and fuel imports, thus threatening serious shortages and driving insecurity on the city’s fringes that could yet topple the government.
