On December 27, the Central African Republic held presidential elections. More than a week before the elections, under the secret command of the former CAR president, François Bozize, armed rebels began an offensive on the capital of the country, Bangui. In recent days, rebels have tried to seize a number of strategically important cities in the country and begin a blockade of the capital.
17 candidates ran for the presidency, including incumbent head of state Faustin-Arrange Touadera, who is seeking re-election for a second term. François Bozize’s candidacy was rejected by the Constitutional Court as he was issued an international arrest warrant in March 2014 for murder, arrest, abduction and torture. Unable to participate in the elections, he supports Touadera’s main rival, opposition leader Anise-Georges Dologele.
The election results are not known yet, but the Touadera party confidently declares victory, despite attempts by the opposition to invalidate the election. The current president owes much to the intervention of the MINUSCA peacekeeping contingent, a special armed group of Rwanda and instructors from Russia, who helped prevent the militants’ attack on the country’s capital from December 17.
“Сriminals cruelly killed, raped our women , sisters and daughters, burned crops, destroyed the socio-economic infrastructure of our country and plundered natural resources,” Faustin-Archange Touadera said in his New Year’s speech, thanking foreign partners for their assistance.
Clashes between militants and the Central African Armed Forces (FACA), supported by its foreign counterparts, have resulted in hundreds of refugees having been flooding into neighboring Cameroon.
According to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) in Cameroon there have already been more that 2,000 new arrivals. They are mainly civilians. At the same time, over 100 CAR soldiers have escaped to these two Cameroonian border towns, according to local authorities.

Despite the fact that the elections in the country have already passed, small-scale clashes between rebels and government forces continue.
The Russian news portal Riafan reported that on the night of December 31 to January 1, government forces repelled a large rebel’s attack. Citing its own correspondents, Riafan claimed that more than 500 militants have been killed and wounded in the clashes. At the same time, it did not mention the place of the attack and provided no details. The news portal quoted its own special correspondents who noted that the attack was repelled thanks to Russian “instructors”.
“It is unclear why the militants decided that on New Year’s Eve, Russian instructors would not accompany the army units at their positions. Probably, they had an idea that the Russian “Vankas” would celebrate, forgetting about their service. It was a big surprise for them, ” said FAN special correspondent Sergei Chemekov.
“… Russian instructors helped the CAR servicemen organize competent defense. The militants suffered a crushing defeat, ” Chemekov said.
Russian “instructor” in the CAR
On December 22, Russia sent an additional 300 military instructors to the CAR amid the increase of the rebels’ pressure. The goal of the Russian military is to train the CAR national army personnel, at the request of the CAR government. The UN Security Council committee was informed of this action.
Claims about repelling a large-scale attack in just one night, without specifying any details, are more likely fake news. It does not probable that the CAR president would calmly congratulate the country on the New Year, while fierce battles were raging near the capital. Moreover, there is too little point to launch a massive attack after the election were held.
Such statements by the Russian media that aim to propagate the forces of the Russian military seem absurd and undermine international confidence in Russian sources of information.
Another blow for french poxies,yet macrons wishfull thinking of commonwealth failure now revealed:
Why is Russia OFFICIALLY involved in this civil war , yet wont help the Houthis ? Palestinians ? the Donbas , or others ? Is it because they’re fighting and killing just “mere” Black Africans ?
I doubt it. They were quite happy killing white Africans a few years back. Maybe mineral resources or a free base in Africa to counter all the US bases. Who knows . Russia have been involved in this area since the 1960’s that I know of and probably before. Patrice Lumumba was assasinated in 1961 next door and a University in Moscow was renamed in his honor a month later.
Because the strategic stakes there are much higher and they want to finish Nord stream 2 first, then they will do as you want.
Just like all the morons wanted Russia to take on the entire Racist supremacist global Jewish satanic slave empire dictatorship alone since 2014.
Russia has had to strengthen its military, its economy and financial system for this or they would have lost.
They will be ready by the end of 2021.
The enemies of the empire are winning the peace, the racist
supremacist global Jewish satanic zio slave empire dictatorship is
losing the peace, so the empire like you, is desperate for war now.
There is good chance the empire will totally implode on its own and no one
will have to fire a shot. So why not just wait for the right opportunity?
To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.
Napoleon’s maxim: Never interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself.
Choose Your Battles. “He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.”
“never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself” Better for the empire to destroy itself as it si doing a very good job of, without a shot being fired.
No it is simple… he is just Shia cheer leader (or bot if you prefer).
He is ready to fight Zionist enemies to the last (Christian) Russian …(non Christian Russian’s should survive). If Russia is “ready” is of minor importance to him.
…with “friends” like him Russia doesn’t need……
Transnistria is a Russian colony.
if you don’t stick to the comment end continue spamming (to whatever is your preference) I will block… you Uki d**k.head
By that logic, USA is invited in Syria by local Kurds and Albanian locals in Kosovo.
that “logic” was created, imposed by US in Kosovo so it was 1st time there!
Kosovo was where all started remember ?!
Kurds doesn’t have independence so Syrian oil
doesn’t belong to them or US you Nato twat!
I think Abhazia, Transnistria was before Kosovo.
No they are not directly comparable and they were not “before” (as imposition of independence by foreign power)! Since Transnistria had Russian troops already there (unlike US-Nato in Kosovo) Nobody, not even Moldavia had put in question Russian presence there (till last 10-15 years maybe).
Abhazia was Georgian attack on Russian UN imposed – PEACE KEEPERS (and not Russian aggression on Georgia like US-Nato aggression on Serbia).
..and Russia had Abkhazia recognized only based on Kosovo precedent, NOT opposite!
also ….Russia have not recognized Transnistria, have not aggressed Moldvia either, so not comparable to Kosovo at all.
You are mixing Ossetia with Abhazia.
” There is good chance the empire will totally implode on its own and no one
will have to fire a shot. So why not just wait for the right opportunity? ”
Having hope is an admirable trait, keeping hope in the face of insurmountable evidence to the contrary and evidence from past history is delusional.
To send in CHRISTIAN RUSSIAN’S to fight and to win your war would be great idea…huh?
You seem very stressed, so let me clear things up for you for future reference.
I would like nothing more then for White, indigenous , Slavic, Christian Russians to achieve a White, Slavic, Christian, homogeneous super power. While kicking the asses of Israhell, ZioAmerica, China, and any other potential threat’s asses. However, this will never be achieved under Chabad Putin.
Hopefully that makes everything clear and concise for you.
So you are Neo-Nazi c u n t after all?
That’s even worse than Sunni or Shia bot!
No wonder I HEATED every your comment always!
” No wonder I HEATED every your comment always! ”
Yet you keep pestering me with your inane comments. BTW, I’m not a “NAZEE ” at all, but neither are you a White, Slavic, Christian, Russian . Photos dont lie douche bag.
Regarless there is no discrimination against other cultures,why the Commonwealth will crush your ideology regardless whom leads usa(period)
And one for the road,for good measure,seeya reightstream!

You re Erdogan lover, that I remember well …thus you can’t be neo-Nazi.
Most probably u r just another Muslim emigrant to EU who despise EU countries and hates Russia for killing your beloved (Zionist) terrorist’s.
Main thing’s ideology losing on all fronts,freedom was ok,when the best of both sides of capitalist/communitys were attained,albiet without the rascism!
“ideology losing on all fronts” above all because capitalism is torpedoed by plutocracy-“financial”( would be )capitalism and as result of that democracy is falling apart …. basic human rights are about to be destroyed globally
But you misprespresent,the peoples,communitys,commonwealths,communists
Which is why that will never happen,you are a racist coward,nothing more to add,no wonder ccp refutes to wanna become soo dumb to the likes of you!
The U.S. Empire is already toast.
Dead man walking…
Please let me know when dollar is toilet paper so I can quit my job.
Its already toilet paper.
Has lost 98% of its value since 1930.
More and more countries are dumping it in favor of the Yuan, Euro, and Ruble.
Even according to the wall street journal Ruble is your best performing longterm reserves.
QE Unlimited + covering the $3trillion deficit a year has sealed the fate of the Crumbling U.S. Empire.
Did sanctions work against Russia and China or the EU, or Turkey?
Nope.
U.S. is basically sanctioning themselves not the rest of the planet.
Happy new year ?
Happy new year! I remember 1930, my first wage. I couldn’t buy alcohol but weed was still legal. I’m so pissed. My wage was $35… Lots of money, if I had 100k I could even go to the bank and buy real gold. Crazy times….
?
The only delusionists are neo-liberal revolutionists,aka soros,cia,eu-epp,goy
Skip projecting Shlomo ?
Aside from that what makes you think they font help the Houthis?
You really think you can make ATGM and ballistic missiles from skratch in the desert?
Oy…
How comes Ukropnazis cant defeat small Donbas?
Because Donbas terrorists are hiding in dense populated areas.
dimwit Homer Simpson amerikan LSD gypsy confuses her village w forest in Donbass
Because Kievnazi terrorists are hiding in dense populated areas and deliberately shelling civs.*
Name a dense populated area from where Ukraine’s army shells Donbass.
Whole area is dense populated.
Aside from.that shelling civs is wrong in the first place.
Thats why separatists wont do it eventho they could.
Especially the woods, they are densely populated with scared squreks like you.
Truth hurts try to handle it.
And stop killing civs…
The blows in Donbass are nit from shelling, the terrorists are bliwing each other appartments.
According to CIA news Network…
Sure.
You think anybody belives you aside from fellow trolls?
Nah…
People are awake now more than ever.
Have a nice day ?
Sourcess say that Donbass coffee is the strongest in the world. It blowns up in your mouth if you are not cautious.
They don’t side with french nor nazi neo-liberals (period)
Russia frequently provides huge humanitarian support for Novorrosia; all residents are also provided passports
And krokodil doses
gypsy porky gomik likes krokodil—not surprised
They always peak the weakest for fight.
iam not really up for the idea that russia should fight on the ground the wars of others because that will have very bad repercussions if it goes forward so boldly in africa
it remains to be seen what russia does in central africa but if russia seeks to stabilize africa from central africa and basically turn c a r into a control and task solver than things will probably not work russias way and russia should rather teach them to teach others and so on
Agree…so far Iranian and Russian efforts has improved conditions in Syria. You are correct–CAR is different
The West needs unstable Africa so that Africans cannot exploit the natural resources. West considers Russia an adversary – it is official in NATO. Why? – Because most of those African countries gained independence with the help of Moscow. Once that happened, the West initiated proxy wars against the legitimate govs in many of those countries. Russia shall not fight for them, rather than training them. Russia is too small demographically. Russia lost over 50 million lives during 20 century.
Too small? You counted the bodies too,fk no!
Russias dealing with it,by the way if you look into recent released usa military archives,according to the soviet government officially 7 million soviets lifes were lost during ww2 compared to 8 million germans,optics,logic,never trust the fascist cockhead on gimp!

CIA trolls are crying and raging ?
Good job Comrades ??
Yes
So Russia is actively supporting the same side France and the UN ( US, UK, FRANCE, CHINA ) support. How nice. I’m sure the French and the UN support is purely for altruistic reasons.
” France had around 2,500 troops deployed in the country as part of Operation Sangaris, supporting about 10,000 United Nations peacekeepers.[19] Without France’s support, Touadéra now faces the immediate challenge of maintaining security in major cities.[19]
Faustin-Archange Touadera’s personal security detail is reportedly composed of members of the Russian Wagner Group.[20] “
France/cia wanted their muppet in,russia countered the deep state,nuff said!
CAR has long been at civil war, divided by ethno-linguistic and religious differences. This creates social, economic difficulties; their economy is mainly informal. Development has been stunted. I support any coalition that will stabilize conditions and reduce conflict in CAR
