At least 60 people have been killed in the last two days in fighting between the new Central African Republic president's forces and those loyal to ousted leader Francois Bozize, the presidency said on Monday.
According to Aljazeera, Bozize's forces infiltrated villages around Bossangoa, 250km northwest of the capital Bangui, destroying bridges and other infrastructure and "taking revenge against the Muslim population", Guy-Simplice Kodegue, spokesman for the office of President Michel Djotodia, said on Monday.
Former rebels of the Seleka coalition ended Bozize's 10-year rule on March 24 and their leader, Djotodia, then became head of state.The fighting on Saturday and Sunday comes after a UN warning that the country is on the brink of collapse.
