| C. Africa MPs Flown to Chad Capital amid Regional Crisis Summit |
| 2014-01-10 |
| [An Nahar] All deputies in the Central African Republic's transitional parliament are to be flown to Chad, where African leaders are holding a special regional summit aiming to restore peace to the restive country, an official said Thursday. A Chadian plane taking all 135 politicians from the Central African capital of Bangui was expected to arrive in the Chadian capital N'Djamena late Thursday, the official said. African leaders in the region have gathered in Chad in a bid to stop the sectarian violence raging in the CAR and pile pressure on its embattled president. But the talks have been suspended until the members of the CAR's National Transition Council arrive in Chad. "The solution must come from the Central Africans themselves," Allami Ahmat, the secretary-general of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) told journalists. "Neither ECCAS nor the international community have come to change the regime.... It is up to those responsible (in CAR) to decide the fate of their country." |
