The incident occurred at about 5 a.m. on March 19, when a group of militants opened fire after subduing the guards, and the authorities are currently launching a chase.
Nine Chinese citizens have been confirmed dead and two seriously injured in the attack.
From what the incident reflects, it appears that the Central African Government has no capacity to protect the local population and foreign citizens.
Central African Republic
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of China's economic construction capacity, some multinational companies have gone to all parts of the world.
Some of these Chinese-funded enterprises have invested their strategic development goals in some poor and backward countries in Africa.
The Central African Republic is one of the ten poorest countries in the world, the economic base is mainly agriculture, although it is a poor and backward country, but Central Africa is very rich in minerals, forests, water conservancy and wildlife resources.
The Central African Republic is a typical landlocked country that, because of its poverty and backwardness, is endowed with unique mineral resources but is unable to exploit them.
Chinese companies value this and make full use of our advanced infrastructure technology to sign a long-term agreement with the Central African Republic, which also drives the local economic development, which is a win-win cooperation for both sides.

However, investing in the Central African Republic also carries a relatively high level of security risk.
Because the local government lacks the ability to protect foreign citizens, this brings great danger to our citizens, and we need to strengthen our awareness of protection at all times and have the ability to avoid risks in time.
Frankly speaking, the current Central African Republic, except for the capital, Bangui, the risk level of other regions is red.
The mainland Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly reminded that it calls on Chinese citizens and enterprises working in Africa to evacuate from high-risk areas as soon as possible.
The Central African Republic's rebels are rampant, fighting with government forces from time to time, and Central Africa is now a very dangerous country.
Due to the cooperation between Chinese companies and the government, it was targeted by some militants.
The attack by militants was on a gold mine, and the tragedy directly killed nine Chinese citizens in the attack and seriously injured two others.
It is noteworthy that the Central African Republic has witnessed a series of kidnappings of foreign citizens in recent months.
As recently as March 13, the Chinese Embassy in China and Africa repeatedly reminded Chinese citizens to evacuate as soon as possible to ensure their personal safety.
Everything that happened in this attack really made the Chinese people feel sad, after all, they are all Chinese compatriots.
Now that tragedy has been made, no amount of doing will help.
I can only remind Chinese compatriots overseas that you should follow the advice of the local Chinese embassy, pay attention to safety, evacuate risk areas in time, and return to the motherland as soon as possible.
