CENTRAFRICA-UNREST-CONGO-SOLDIERS

Soldiers from Congo Brazzaville, part of the Multinaional Force of the Economic Community of Central African States (FOMAC), arrive at the airport in Bangui, on December 31, 2012. Congo announced today the deployment of a battalion of 120 soldiers to the Central African Republic's capital Bangui at the request of the Tchadian President Idriss Deby, who is currently the president of FOMAC. Meanwhile rebels in the Central African Republic vowed to take the last key town before the capital and renewed their call for the president to stand down, voicing scepticism over his pledge to make concessions.
