Demonstration Alert – U. S. Embassy Bangui, Central African Republic (June 27, 2022)

Location:  Bangui

Event:  The U.S. Embassy has received reports there will be politically-motivated protests in Bangui on Tuesday June 28 near the Barthelemy Boganda National Stadium (Stade de 20,000 places) and related political manifestations throughout the week.
