词条 | Republican Guard (Central African Republic) |
释义 |
The Republican Guard ({{lang-fr|Garde républicaine}}, or GR), also called the Presidential Guard ({{lang-fr|Garde présidentielle}}, or PR), is nominally part of the Central African Armed Forces (FACA) but is directly subordinated to the President of the Central African Republic, for whom it provides security. HistoryDuring the leadership of President François Bozizé the guard largely consisted of members of his same tribe, "patriots" who helped him seize power during the 2003 Central African Republic coup d'état, and was estimated to number some 800 men.[1] They are have been accused of numerous assaults on the civil population, such as terror, aggression, sexual violence. Since the outbreak of the civil war and ethnic violence in 2012 with the overthrow of Bozizé, many members of the guard have joined the Seleka coalition.[2] Since 2008 they had received training from South African and Sudanese troops, with support from Belgium and Germany, although since then the leadership has been cautious about significantly reforming the guard.[3] Civil WarSince the civil war, transitional president Michel Djotodia attempted to reform the presidential guard, which was staffed by his militia.[4] Chinese instructors provided training to the presidential guard and other internal security forces in 2018.[5] StatusIts current status is unknown, although Prime Minister Catherine Samba-Panza was known to rely on foreign security guards, particularly those from Rwanda.[6] Currently President Faustin-Archange Touadéra is also protected by Rwandan troops.[7] Some sources suggest that a Central African Presidential Guard still exists, however, and that it has been trained by Rwandan commandos.[8] References1. ^[https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/africa/car-army.htm Central African Republic Army].
