Un ressortissant suisse et un militaire des Forces arm\u00e9es centrafricaines (FACA) ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9s samedi apr\u00e8s-midi 1er ao\u00fbt dans une attaque arm\u00e9e survenue pr\u00e8s du village d’Imohoro, \u00e0 une cinquantaine de kilom\u00e8tres au nord de Bangui, selon des informations de l’Agence France-Presse reprises par plusieurs m\u00e9dias, dont La Libre et L’essentiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les deux hommes se rendaient sur place pour effectuer une reconnaissance d’un site minier lorsque leur convoi a essuy\u00e9 des tirs, \u00e0 environ cinq kilom\u00e8tres de leur destination, de la part d’individus arm\u00e9s dont l’identit\u00e9 reste \u00e0 ce stade inconnue. Aucune revendication n’a \u00e9t\u00e9 formul\u00e9e dans les heures qui ont suivi l’attaque. Les FACA ont annonc\u00e9 le renforcement des patrouilles dans la zone et la poursuite d’op\u00e9rations de ratissage pour tenter de localiser les assaillants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La R\u00e9publique centrafricaine, \u00c9tat enclav\u00e9 frontalier du Soudan et de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo, a connu une am\u00e9lioration relative de sa situation s\u00e9curitaire depuis la guerre civile des ann\u00e9es 2010, marqu\u00e9e par l’intervention de groupes arm\u00e9s dans plusieurs r\u00e9gions du pays. Cette embellie reste toutefois fragile : les derniers mois ont \u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9s par une recrudescence des violences dans certaines zones, notamment autour de la capitale et dans le nord-est du pays, o\u00f9 se m\u00ealent groupes rebelles, bandes arm\u00e9es et int\u00e9r\u00eats li\u00e9s \u00e0 l’exploitation mini\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cette attaque, qui vise pour la premi\u00e8re fois depuis plusieurs mois un ressortissant occidental, intervient dans un contexte o\u00f9 les activit\u00e9s de prospection mini\u00e8re, souvent men\u00e9es dans des zones recul\u00e9es et peu s\u00e9curis\u00e9es, exposent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement leurs acteurs \u00e0 des risques d’agression. Le secteur minier centrafricain, qui inclut l’exploitation de diamants, d’or et de plusieurs autres ressources, continue en effet d’attirer des op\u00e9rateurs \u00e9trangers malgr\u00e9 la persistance de zones d’ins\u00e9curit\u00e9, en particulier dans l’arri\u00e8re-pays o\u00f9 la pr\u00e9sence de l’\u00c9tat reste limit\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aucun bilan d\u00e9finitif des enqu\u00eates men\u00e9es par les autorit\u00e9s centrafricaines n’\u00e9tait disponible \u00e0 l’heure de la r\u00e9daction de cet article. Les circonstances exactes de l’attaque, l’identit\u00e9 de ses auteurs pr\u00e9sum\u00e9s et une \u00e9ventuelle revendication devront \u00eatre v\u00e9rifi\u00e9es aupr\u00e8s des autorit\u00e9s locales et de l’ambassade de Suisse concern\u00e9e avant toute publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
