The role of the Russian instructors is officially limited to training the Central African Armed Forces (FACA), transporting them to areas of operations, advising them, providing logistical support, and medical evacuation.
In a report released on 30 June, the panel of experts said the Russians “played a prominent role” in the successful counter-offensive against the rebel alliance that attempted to overthrow the government in December 2020.
It received testimony from many sources who “noted the active participation of Russian instructors in combat operations on the ground, many observing that the Russians often led rather than followed FACA as they advanced”. FACA personnel, including officers up to the rank of colonel, said Russians were operating independently of their own forces.
