CENTRAFRICA-UNREST

Central Africa's interim leader Michel Djotodia gives a statement to the press at his Bangui residence on December 21, 2013. More than 30 people including a Chadian peacekeeper have been killed in a fresh outbreak of brutal sectarian violence in the Central African Republic capital, sources said Friday. The Central African Red Cross said it had retrieved 29 bodies from the streets of Bangui after heavy fighting broke out overnight, continuing into early Friday. The Central African Republic (CAR) spiralled into chaos after a March coup in which the mainly Muslim Seleka rebel group overthrew president Francois Bozize. Rebel leader Michel Djotodia was installed as the first Muslim leader of the majority Christian nation and disbanded the Seleka, but many rebels went rogue, spreading terror.
