Abduction in Yalinga

By Isidore MBAYO | LAMINE MEDIA Translated into English by Susan CARTER-JONES i LNC

(Bangui, June 27, 2026 | LAMINE MEDIA) In Yalinga, in the Haute-Kotto prefecture, around ten people have been forcibly taken by armed men identified as suspected fighters from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a movement historically linked to Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony. Reports indicate that the majority of those abducted are young children, and their fate remains unknown. It is worth noting that the Yalinga sub-prefecture has previously experienced violence attributed to the LRA. This remote area of ​​Haute-Kotto has already seen several armed incursions, involving civilian abductions and looting that have had a lasting impact on local populations. This mass abduction reignites the debate regarding security in rural areas far removed from major administrative centers. In Yalinga, geographical isolation, the condition of access roads, and a limited permanent security force presence often hinder rapid interventions. And one cannot rely on national authorities to resolve the situation.
