Vehicles and armoured vehicles belonging to the Wagner group, parked on the road in Zawa, Central African Republic, are disrupting traffic on National Road No. 1 and access to shops and transport agencies, Corbeaunews Centrafrique reports, after its journalists observed the situation on site.

Located between Yaloké and Bossemptélé, about 240 kilometres from Bangui, Zawa is a stop for transport operators and motorcyclists using the route linking the capital to the west of the country. Drivers have to slow down and manoeuvre around the vehicles, while motorcyclists weave close to trucks, increasing the risk of accidents.
