Chinese-run Gold Mine Attacked in Central African Republic

 The Associated Press published an article dated 12 May 2024 titled "Rebels Kill At Least 4 During an Attack on a Central African Republic Mining Town" by Jean-Fernand Koena.

Rebels in the Central Africa Republic (CAR) attacked a Chinese-run gold mine in Gaga village and killed at least four people.  A year ago, rebels killed nine Chinese nationals at another mine in the CAR.

Atlas News published an article dated 6 May 2024 titled "Chinese Nationals Kidnapped in the Central African Republic" by Bianca Bridger.  

This report several days earlier said an undisclosed number of Chinese nationals working at a mining site in Gofo, Basse-Kotto prefecture, had been kidnapped, presumably for ransom.
