| 2013-03-26 |
| [Iran Press TV] The ousted president of the Central African Republic, Francois Bozize, has taken refuge in neighboring Cameroon as France sends more troops to the African country. A statement from the office of Cameroon's president said on Monday that Bozize is seeking a temporary stay before going to another county. Bozize fled his country after Seleka fighters had seized the capital Bangui over the weekend. Reports say that the rebels' leader Michel Djotodia declared himself the new president. Meanwhile, France sent 350 more troops to its former colony, bringing the number of soldiers stationed in the African nation to 600. Several hundred soldiers from South Africa were also deployed to the Central African Republic to counter the Seleka fighters. |

| #1 "declared" himself the new President? Just dispense with the elections I have a gun sort of thing? That should go nicely. But then, they are sweaty guys who share the monkey... heavily armed sweaty guys. And the other guy ( who is now looking out the window at scenic where was it...ah...Cameroon )...with a valise full of real value commodity is named...Francois Bozize? Nice name, its the sort of name you see on a toilet stall door with a phone number saying "for a good time call ". They don't have anything "strategic" in his little African country , do they?? Something we need perhaps? No? Let South Africa and France handle it, they need the exercise and they may already be sitting on the strategic parts now anyway. Sounds like a Regiment with a modern logistics, that should do it against what...Bujuba Kakakwey and the boys? |
