Bangui - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there personal security concerns to be aware of at this post? Please describe.
From what I've heard, it ranges from petty crime to carjacking to murder. - Jun 2018
Yes. For one thing, the country is unstable and things can happen at any given moment. And two, petty theft is very common. It is a high-threat post for a reason. - Oct 2017
Petty crime in the city. Watch your backpacks, cellphones, etc. Kids may sometimes try to open your car door while you're stopped and take whatever is loose. Upcountry there can be active rebel conflicts with roadblocks and associated 'tolls'. Overland travel to certain parts of the country is not advisable. - Jan 2012
