The Bloc républicain pour la défense de la Constitution (BRDC) firmly rejected arguments from government spokesman Évariste Ngamana regarding a planned peaceful march in Bangui. Master Crépin Mboli-Goumba, BRDC coordinator, stated on Monday, November 9, 2026, that Ngamana's legal points against the demonstration were unfounded. The march is scheduled for Friday, November 13, 2026, starting at 6 a.m. on Avenue des Martyrs.
The BRDC is calling on residents of Bangui, Bimbo, and Bégoua to participate in the mobilization against the policies of President Faustin-Archange Touadéra's administration. The government had previously agreed to secure the march, which aims to protest the high cost of living. The BRDC encourages attendees to use the event to demand better living conditions.
