Multinational force warns C. Africa rebels against advance
BANGUI, Central African Republic - The head of the central African force FOMAC on Wednesday warned rebels in the Central African Republic against any attempt to take the key Damara, the last strategic town between them and the country's capital Bangui.
"Let it be clear, we will not give up Damara," said General Jean-Felix Akaga.
"If the rebels attack Damara that would amount to a declaration of war and would mean that they have decided to engage the 10 central African states," he told reporters in Bangui.
"I honestly don't think they will go that far." - Rappler.com
