The CAR does not exclude the appearance of the Russian military base
The Central Asian defense minister explained that in August 2018, an intergovernmental agreement on military cooperation was signed between Russia and the CAR, the result of which today is the training center in Barengo, where Russian military instructors are training military personnel of the republic’s army. At the same time, although there has not yet been any talk about creating a fully-fledged military base of Russia in the CAR, the possibility of deploying it is envisaged by a framework agreement between the states. If the authorities of the countries decide to deploy a military base on the territory of the Central African Republic, then it will be created.
The situation in the Central African Republic aggravated at the end of 2013, when clashes between militants of the Islamist Seleka group and Christian rebels opposing them occurred. At present, the situation in the country is gradually stabilizing, including with the help of Russia, which has supported the legitimate government of the republic at a negotiating level.
