A UN group of experts on Wednesday called on the Central African authorities to end all relations with Russian paramilitaries accused of harassing and intimidating the Central African population.

The UN panel also said it had received reports that Russian paramilitaries from the Wagner Group had committed rape and sexual violence against civilians in several locations in CAR.
According to UN experts, Russian paramilitaries carried out “arbitrary detentions, acts of torture, enforced disappearances and summary executions.”
