Hollande urges Africa to take control of its own security
Hollande told some 40 African leaders gathered at a two-day summit in
Paris to discuss security that the crisis in Central African Republic
showed the urgent need to press ahead with the African Standby Force
(ASF).

In photos: Civilians armed with machetes roam CAR capital
The people I photographed in Km-5 are Muslims that are banding together
in militias to attack Christians. Among them there are civilians who are
trying to defend themselves from the Christian militias but there are
also former rebels. It�s very hard to know who is who. Everyone is
confused. And when people talk about Seleka rebels or ex-Seleka rebels
it doesn�t really mean anything anymore. In this neighbourhood nobody
obeys to any higher authority.

eikkNAs expected 1200 soldiers are not enought at all.
And of course 1200 soldiers is not enough but I heard they will be joined by african soldiers (2 000 ?).
1200 may not be anywhere near enough and even with 2000 African
troops still won't be there. But with air support it definitely upps the
advantage.

But basically the 1200 format already went through the window.
@pergiel the equivalent of the commonwealth for the french
speaker is the francophonie.For exemple in russia the french was
officialy the second language.
I'm surprised the French public is not tired of war. Considering
all the interventions France has engaged in in the last 3 years: Ivory
Coast Libya Mali and now CAR. I guess the French are "OK with it" when
it's their former colonies. By the way I cannot think of one former
French colony that has achieved first world status. Any ideas?
Actually in France we don't really hear about the intervention.
And nobody sees it as a "war" except soldiers. But it is pretty much
welcomed by the French public opinion or seen like a political move by
others.

So please remember that today only 24% of the French citizens agree with this operation (Source : Le JDD)

Is it just me or does anyone else remember that Polynesian guy on the P4

and Mali?

rushed troops to Central African Republic on Friday but violence
between Muslim and Christian militias continued unabated spiralling into
widespread killings of civilians. Hundreds of soldiers started arriving

the main roads and warplanes flew low over town. But residents and
rights groups reported waves of killings in neighbourhoods despite major
gunbattles easing off. The Red Cross said it had collected 281 bodies
from two days of violence in Bangui but many more had been killed.

Eighteenth-Century literary Russian from May smith. Even in culture and
architecture for exemple Perterhof against Versaille.... You can read
