[Iran Press TV] At least 13 South African soldiers have lost their lives in clashes with rebels at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Central African Republic's capital, Bangui."During the battle 13 of our soldiers fell, one is unaccounted for," President Jacob Zuma said on Monday. Pilots will have to coordinate takeoff and landing by themselves after April 7 using a shared radio channel. Some 200 soldiers from South Africa were deployed to Central Africa in January to support the government troops against the offensive launched by the Seleka fighters in early December.
