Central African Republic crisis: Bozize promises coalition
2012-12-31
[BBC.CO.UK] Central African Republic
Formely the Central African Empire, though everybody tries not to mention Emperor Freddy lately.
leader Francois Bozize has said he is ready to form a national unity government with rebels, as they continue their advance towards the capital Bangui.

Mr Bozize's remarks came after a meeting with 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...
chairman Thomas Boni Yayi.

He said he would hold peace talks with rebels in Gabon, and would step down when his term ended in 2016.

The rebels told the BBC they would consider the president's offer.

They had pledged to depose Mr Bozize unless he negotiated with them, but have also said that it is not their aim to enter government themselves.

#2  More Chinese lebensraum to pay for the liberation war in twenty years time. Meet the new bwana, same as the old bwana, but much worse.

We are hopeful for a similar outcome here in the States as well Francois, but it has nothing to do with your tenure.
