BRDC March

By Isabella Luisa CAPELLI l LAMINE MEDIA

(Bangui, November 13, 2026 | LAMINE MEDIA) It's Friday the 13th, day to play the lottery... But more seriously, the news is held in Central Africa. In Bangui, as early as 6 a.m., several hundred people responded to the call of the Bloc Republican for the Defense of the Constitution (BRDC).
The mobilization aims to denounce the shortage of life, the recent rise in fuel prices, and to demand the release of five activists arrested on October 15 last year. It replaces the rally originally planned for the vigil, but banned by authorities for reasons the opposition judges unfounded.
Despite the rain beating down on the capital, demonstrators paraded down Martyrs Avenue, banners in hand, to the rhythm of the national anthem and patriotic chants. In the procession, René explains the message written on his placard: “This is for the pure and simple release of our compatriots Élysée Nguémalé, Quentin Ngouando and other activists detained in Camp de Roux. »
Framed by Minusca Blue Helmets and internal security forces, the march flowed calmly. So far, no major spill has been reported.
Present on stage, Crépin Mboli-Goumba, coordinator of the BRDC, rebuked the economic policy of the government: “One cannot intimidate six million Central Africans who are falling into poverty. Fuel prices are the highest in the entire CFA free zone. We are here today to say that the government should reduce it to If you go to the market today, you are unable, with the same amount, to have the same contents in the basket. »
He also insisted on the symbolic scope of the rally: “Justice, this is not for the strongest, nor for those who run this country; it's for the weak. We are here on Martyrs Square, a place that reminds us that Central Africans have already proven courage and heroism in defeating tyranny. »
For their part, authorities minimize the scope of this mobilization, qualifying the advance as failure. They have hours and already announced the holding of a counter demonstration in the coming days to protest the dissolution of the BRDC, a platform they consider illegitimate.
