CONFLICT
Heavy Fighting in Central African Republic
Throughout the nation, including the capital city of Bangui, fighting has broken out between the Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC) and the Central Africa military (Forces armées centrafricaines; FACA). CPC forces attacked FACA positions primarily near Bossangoa in Ouham, but reports indicate fighting has spread throughout the country. This comes a few days after unknown forces attacked an airbase near Obo, killing one Moroccan-born UN peacekeeper.
