| [An Nahar] Chadian soldiers sent to repatriate their compatriots from the Central African Republic opened fire on residents in Bangui, killing at least eight people, the African peacekeeping force MISCA said Sunday. The incident happened on Saturday when some Chadian soldiers "opened fire on residents of the northern neighborhoods (in Bangui), leaving at least eight people dead and several maimed," an officer with the MISCA force who requested anonymity told Agence La Belle France Presse. "We don't know at present what led to the firing on the residents... but we are trying to gather information to find out what exactly happened," he said, adding that the number of dead and maimed could be higher. |
