Four killed near Tiringoulou

Unidentified armed men killed four young men returning from a gold mine.

Four people were killed last Monday about 30 kilometers from Tiringoulou, on the Birao axis in the Vakaga region. The victims, young men returning from a gold mine, were killed by unidentified armed men. The mayor of Ouandja commune, Al-Abib Yaya, spoke about the circumstances of the killings.

Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group killed four young Central Africans of the Kara ethnic group between Tiringoulou and Délémbé. The bodies were decapitated and then burned with their motorcycles. One of the victims was identified as a member of the self-defense militia known as the Black Wagner.

The incident occurred near the village of Délémbé.
