Translated into English by Isabella Luisa CAPELLI l LAMINE MÉDIA

(Bangui, November 9, 2026 | LAMINE MÉDIA) This Monday, November 9, 2026, in the Central African Republic, a "dead city" day—a general strike and shutdown—was organized at the initiative of the IKOUE-GUI OKO movement. The action highlights several grievances, including the high cost of living, directed at the authorities in Bangui.
Furthermore, the association is demanding that the government respect the freedoms of expression and assembly. This call follows a request for a protest march by the Republican Bloc for the Defense of the Constitution (BRDC). In short, the current climate is one of dissent, marked by various calls for mobilization—such as the Coordination of Civil Society Organizations for Peace in the Central African Republic (COSCIPAC), which has announced three consecutive "dead city" days, from November 16 to 18.
Through these various actions, the mobilizing organizations intend to keep pressure on the authorities and ensure their demands are heard.
