Sunday morning, the armed coalition stormed the city of Bangassou, in the southeast of the Central African Republic. In the evening, accounts of the situation in the city diverged. The head of Minusca, Mankeur Ndiaye, assured in a tweet that he controlled the city and was conducting robust patrols.

However, the prefect stated that Central African forces, Russian elements, and various local authorities had taken refuge at the Minusca base. She declared that the city was under the control of armed groups.

Minusca (United Nations Multidisciplinary Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic) reports a toll of five armed men killed and two Central African soldiers wounded in Bangassou. The UN mission also counts eight deaths on the side of the CPC (Coalition for Patriots for Change) in fighting that affected Damara, a city in southwest Central African Republic, on Saturday.

In the Bossembele region, significant gatherings of armed men have been reported. Furthermore, security sources affirm that the presence of combatants has been reported dozens of kilometers from Bangui.

While the capital and the majority of the country were calm on Sunday, various cities were filled with concern. Residents of several localities expressed their fears of the security consequences that the announcement of partial results could have on Monday.

In this context, Prime Minister Firmin Ngrebada called on Sunday for journalists to prioritize the national interest and pointed the finger at private radio stations that "persist in spreading misinformation and promoting rebellion".
