CAR new PM wants to rebuild relationship with France
https://sputniknews.com/africa/202106171083171273-central-african-republics-new-pm-appeals-for-french-eu-support-after-paris-cancels-training-deal/ Most of the CARs economy is geared toward subsistence farming, but its primary exports are timber, gold and diamonds, many of which have been mined in artisanal mining concessions granted to Energem Resources Inc., Vaaldiam Resources Ltd., and Axmin, Inc. - all Canadian companies that have had varying degrees of success. Industrial diamonds alone constitute 57% of CARs exports. In 2017, France was still the countrys largest export partner, accounting for 31.2% of all exports.

Dragoon's news story actually confirms: 1) The Russians have bought/pushed their way into control of CAR, and the western countries are pulling back. 2) The gold at the so-called Axmin site is actually being mined and sold by other means.
