(Bangui, July 9, 2026 | LNC) Following the attack at Am Dafock—located up north on the border with Sudan, in the Vakaga region—Touadéra broke his silence to denounce the alleged involvement of foreign fighters and called on Central Africans to mobilize in defense of the country's unity. He made these remarks in a video posted on the Presidency of the Republic's Facebook page. He was speaking during a meeting with leaders of the Muslim community in Bangui. "The Central African Republic belongs to all of us. We have laws in this country, yet I do not understand what drives some of our brothers to act this way. They are bringing foreigners into our land to destroy the country." He also—as is customary—paid tribute to the Central African Armed Forces, MINUSCA, and the allied forces engaged in security operations. Not a word was said regarding the dead and wounded.
