The Russian Embassy in the Central African Republic (CAR) said last week that the general director of the Russian House in the CAR Dmitry Syty was hospitalized in Bangui after an assassination attempt.
The condition of the head of the Russian House in the CAR, Dmitry Syty, is difficult and it was decided to evacuate him, the Russian Embassy in the country told Sputnik on Monday.
"The state of health is difficult. The doctors are fighting for his live. An emergency evacuation decision was made," the embassy said.
Later, a Sputnik correspondent reported that a plane with Syty had taken off for Russia.
Meanwhile, a rally was held in the Central African Republic's capital in support of Syty.
Syty was hospitalized in Bangui on Friday following an assassination attempt. He was reported to have received a package with an explosive that went off in his hands. The Russian Embassy later informed Sputnik that Syty's condition was not life-threatening.

Head of Russian House in CAR Hospitalized After Assassination Attempt – Russian Embassy
The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the attack, saying that it was "clearly aimed at hindering the activities of the Russia House in Bangui, and more broadly, harming the successful development of friendly relations between our two countries." CAR Ambassador to Russia Leon Dodonou-Pounagaza, however, told Sputnik that the terrorist attack would not affect relations between Bangui and Moscow.
