(Bangui, May 3, 2026 - LNC) Everything is not going so well in the best of worlds in the Central African Republic, as a fairly telling news item shows: the facts are, we are at the city’s modern high school, and here, an FARDC finds nothing better to do than to let off steam violently on several students during the awarding of a scholarship. As a result, the Armed Forces General Staff temporarily suspended him from his duties. The latter is also handed over to the courts in order to allow for a thorough investigation, which will have to establish responsibilities and identify possible accomplices. Passing through the region from April 15 to 17, the Minister of National Education, Aurélien Zingas, confirmed the arrest of the suspect. and also announced the initiation of legal proceedings against those responsible for the Maïngo project (Human Capital and Empowerment of Women and Girls Project (Maïngo): Implementation Support Mission - from November 12 to 19, 2024 financed by the World Bank), in order to shed light on this matter and to identify its exact outlines. On the spot, we wait anxiously for the results of the investigation, because the incident caused a popular stir.
