  • Central African Army Forces cadets stand in Jean Bedel Bocassa’s Berengo palace near Pissa, some 80 kilometres south-west of Bangui, Central African Republic, on January 26, 2014.

In Mbaiki, down the road, a local commander of the Muslim Seleka blamed Christian anti-Balaka militias for sending the country into chaos and vowed reprisals if the newly appointed interim government would not put an end to Muslim killings in the country.
