On Sunday, armed rebels launched an attack on a Chinese-run gold mining town in Central African Republic, resulting in the deaths of at least four individuals. The incident took place in Gaga, a village located approximately 125 miles from the capital city of Bangui.
The Coalition of Patriots for Change, an alliance of rebel groups associated with former President Francois Bozize, claimed responsibility for the attack. Local government spokesperson Maxime Balalu confirmed the assault and expressed concerns that the death toll could potentially rise. Among the casualties were individuals employed at the nearby mine, with several others sustaining injuries during the violent confrontation.
