| [EURONEWS] Thousands of people have marched through the capital of Central African Republic to demand the resignation of its interim President Catherine Samba-Panza. It follows a resurgence of violence in the largely Christian city of Bangui after Moslem gunnies attacked a church on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people. "As a first solution we'd like the immediate departure of Burundi forces. Secondly, we'd like the liberation of KM5 so that our mothers, sons and fathers can go about their business normally," said one demonstrator. The Burundi contingent of the African peacekeeping force has come under fire after two people were rubbed out during violent protests. The Burundi peacekeepers have also been accused of siding with Moslems. The country has been gripped by ethnic and religious violence for more than a year since Seleka rebels, who are mostly Moslem, seized Bangui in March 2013. |
