The Central African Republic army chief has been sacked after forces loyal to the deposed president launched a new offensive.
According to BBC News, at least 60 people have been killed in the fighting north-west of the capital, according to officials.
"The change at the head of the army today is linked to the current situation in the country's north and the president's desire to bring some corrections in the security sphere," said Mr Djotodia's spokesman.
Jean-Pierre Dolle-Waya would be replaced as army chief by Gen Ferdinand Bombayake, according to a statement read out on state radio.
Gen Bombayake was head of security for ex-President Ange Felix Patasse, who was toppled in a 2003 coup by Mr Bozize, reports the Reuters news agency.
