EBAM, CameroonIt was the most barbaric act of violence Nas Ali said he has witnessed since the Central African Republic (CAR) welcomed Russian mercenaries from the infamous Wagner Group, which some have called Vladimir Putins private army, about four years ago.
While having a conversation with a female friend under a mango tree about 50 meters away from his home, and having a good view of his compound from where they both stood in the western CAR village of Bèzèrè, the 32-year-old said he watched from afar as about a dozen Russian paramilitaries, who appeared from nowhere, dragged the wives of two of his neighbors out of the compound, stabbed them in their abdomen and then disemboweled the two women.
The women were screaming and begging for mercy, Ali, who now lives as a refugee in Cameroon, told The Daily Beast. The white soldiers [as many in CAR refer to Wagner mercenaries as] didnt listen. They killed the women and removed their stomach and intestines.
The incident, according to Ali and another witness, occurred on Dec. 6 last year. They said at least six other women in Bèzèrè were killed in the same manner across the village.
As I was leaving the village, I saw the body of a woman who was pregnant, Malik Tete, a 29-year-old bricklayer who fled Bèzèrè to Cameroon after the incident, told The Daily Beast. They had cut her open, removed her baby and her intestines and left them on top of her dead body.
Following the violence in Bèzèrè, thousands of people, according to Ali and Tete, fled the village to Bocaranga, about 27 kilometers southeast of Bèzèrè. Many others, including the witnesses, sought refuge in settlements for refugees in the eastern part of Cameroon.

It is especially excruciating. Doing it to women is a sign of cowardice and a way to terrorize the male population into compliance.
