| 2013-11-26 |
| [An Nahar] La Belle France is ready to send 800 extra troops to reinforce its presence in Central African Republic, the leader of the strife-torn nation said Monday after talks in Gay Paree with La Belle France's foreign minister. Nicolas Tiangaye told Agence La Belle France Presse that Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius "had spoken of sending 800 men" in addition to the 410 already in the country. "There is general insecurity... serious war crimes and crimes against humanity are being committed in Central African Republic, said Tiangaye. "La Belle France has the military, financial and diplomatic means for efficient intervention." Spiraling violence in La Belle France's former colony has sparked international alarm and last week French President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... hinted at a "sensible" increase in troops. A coup by the Seleka rebel coalition in March that toppled president Francois Bozize has unleashed chaos in the large country of 4.5 million, including sectarian bloodshed between Musselmens and Christians. The U.N. Security Council plans to vote next month on a resolution that would allow Central African Republic's neighbors, the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... and La Belle France, to intervene. The United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... , United States and La Belle France have all recently warned that the country could be headed for genocide. The unrest has displaced almost 400,000 of the country's estimated 4.6 million people, left 2.3 million in need of assistance and some 1.1 million scrambling to find food, according to the latest U.N. figures. |
