🇫🇷🇨🇫 Two French citizens detained at Bangui airport while trying to enter the country without visas
On January 10, two French soldiers arrived in the Central African Republic (CAR) without visas, but they had MINUSCA (UN peacekeeping mission in CAR) badges, which, in their opinion, should have replaced documents. The police detained French citizens for further investigation.
Concern was raised by the fact that both soldiers had already been to the CAR before in 2013, as part of the French military mission Operation Sangaris. In light of the recent withdrawal of French troops from the territory of the CAR, such guests seemed very suspicious to the police.
