| Thousands of Muslims Protest French Operations in C. Africa |
| 2013-12-23 |
| [An Nahar] Several thousand Mohammedan supporters of the Central African Republic's former rebel group Seleka protested Sunday against French troops conducting a disarmament operation. The demonstration in the capital Bangui marked the most significant show of hostility towards La Belle France since it deployed troops on December 5 to end the chaos that followed Seleka's coup in March. The protest swelled after some Mohammedan residents said three ex-Seleka fighters were killed in festivities with French troops. French officials have not confirmed that information. |
