Central African Republic: Calls for Justice and Political Transition
A statement released on February 14, 2026, from bernard Selemby Doudou, a jurist and environmentalist based in Limassa, Central African Republic (CAR), calls for a political transition and accountability for recent injustices. The statement addresses concerns regarding prolonged leadership,alleged abuses,and the need for justice for victims,notably a recently assassinated police officer.
Concerns Regarding Prolonged Rule
Doudou’s statement criticizes the practice of indefinitely seeking additional mandates, arguing that leadership should be time-limited. He urges those in power to recognize the limits of their authority and to understand that the ultimate source of sovereignty – the people – may eventually demand change. The message implicitly warns against clinging to power and suggests a voluntary departure would be preferable to being forced out.
allegations of Abuse and Demand for Justice
The statement specifically calls for justice in several cases, including those involving the Dondra brothers, the Sayo family, Dr. Erenon, and the recent killing of a police officer allegedly by mercenaries associated with the Wagner Group. The officer’s death is described as a breaking point, symbolizing a larger pattern of injustice. The Wagner Group, a Russian private military company, has been implicated in human rights abuses in the CAR (Human Rights Watch).
Geopolitical Analysis and Warning
Doudou asserts that those with geopolitical and strategic analytical skills are capable of identifying dangers but lack the capacity to act as frist responders in crises. He emphasizes the principle of reaping what one sows, stating that consistent causes will inevitably produce consistent effects. This suggests a belief that current actions will have predictable consequences.
Confidentiality and Source Protection
The statement includes a request for discretion, urging recipients not to reveal the source of the information. It specifically instructs anyone who asks to deny that Doudou is the author, stating, “If on vous demande, ne dites surtout pas que c’est moi depuis Limassa.”
Community Engagement
The statement concludes with links to WhatsApp channels associated with the “Chaine de Corbeau News Centrafrique” (CNC),inviting readers to join the community. The CNC appears to be a news and information dissemination platform focused on the Central African Republic. The first two groups are designated for official CNC publications onyl.
