| C. African President Says Will Renew Curfew in Capital |
| 2013-11-23 |
| [An Nahar] President Michel Djotodia of the strife-torn Central African Republic on Friday announced that he will shortly renew a curfew on the capital Bangui because of a surge of armed crime. "I am imminently going to issue a decree to restore the curfew from 10:00 pm until 6:00 am," Djotodia said at a meeting of civic leaders in the presidential palace, after a similar measure was lifted last month. "During this period, patrols will be stepped up" and "any individual" wearing uniform or carrying weapons at night will if necessary be "disarmed by force", he added, blaming "bandidos" for the disturbances. |
