Clashes disrupt life around Boromata

Clashes between the Central African Armed Forces and unidentified armed groups are disrupting travel and farming around Boromata, in Vakaga. The fighting follows an attack on 30 October about 18 kilometres from the town, reports the Journal de Bangui.

Fears of a further escalation are keeping residents away from their fields, on which many households depend for their livelihoods. Travel between communities is also being disrupted, reports the Journal de Bangui.

The clashes follow an attack attributed to rebel elements on 30 October, about 18 kilometres from Boromata, according to the Journal de Bangui. The situation comes after the Central African army struck armed groups in Vakaga on 11 October, according to an earlier article by the outlet on Central African army strikes in Vakaga.
