(Bangui, June 20, 2026 – LNC) Amid persistent rumors of a coup d'état, the Bangui High Court prosecutor's office announced in a statement broadcast on Central African television the opening of legal proceedings against several individuals suspected of involvement in an alleged coup plot against the institutions of the Republic. The names mentioned are: Alexandre Ferdinand Nguendet, Abakar Sabone, Danzoumi Yalo, Nour Gregaza, Arda, and Denise Madina Dukué. Apparently, there is tangible evidence to justify legal action, as if the potential coup plotter would be foolish enough to publicly disclose their intentions. Let's be clear: a coup d'état is by definition an anti-democratic act, since the people's opinion is not sought. At the same time, in the Central African Republic, we are not living in a democracy, with Touadéra, not content with rigging elections, subjugating the country's institutions, doing as he pleases without consulting anyone, such as bringing in Russian mercenaries, the "Awful Ones." Finally, judgments are not based on hearsay, but on evidence. Therefore, it is not the court's place to replace the police, because where is the evidence for these accusations made so hastily?
