notes: On 19 November 2021, police forces arrested the former UPC political coordinator, who is also CAR Livestock Minister, in Bangui as part of an investigation by the Special Criminal Court in CAR over human rights violations and crimes against humanity. The minister was the head of the pro-disarmament, pro-peaceful-route UPC faction, and UPC militiamen announced the massive resumption of military incursions in case he was not freed. The Minister was released after one week, despite the ordinance of the Criminal Court. Some sources claimed that his freedom was the result of an agreement between the Minister and the Wagner Group.
