Wagner Forces Heighten Tensions Along Chad-CAR Border
Russian Mercenaries Cross Into Chad in Retaliation for Arrests
Following the arrest and subsequent release of four Russians and one Belarusian in Chad in late September, Wagner forces in the Central African Republic (CAR), in an act of retaliation, crossed the Chad-CAR border, according to Central African press.
"They shot people, tore down the Chadian flag, and planted the Central African flag. It was a real provocation," said one witness to the local press, Corbeau News Centrafrique.
