Central African Republic President Faustin-Archange Touadera on Monday urged people to defy threats and vote in presidential and
parliamentary polls on December 27. There are reports that the rebels are advancing towards the capital city to dampen confidence and to spread fear ahead of the vote.
In his address, President Touadera called on the people to deplore and condemn people who are undermining constitution and orderly life by engaging in paths of violence. It is reported that former leader Francois Bozize whose presidential bid was rejected by court citing UN sanctions, has been accused of backing a rebel movement.
Analysts predict there can be troubles in various parts of the country if the security forces do not keep a vigil on the law and order. President Touadera is all the time surrounded by the security forces. Peacekeepers from Bangladesh are presently deployed in the country. Touadera’s government rules from Bangui are only able to exert control in certain areas and in many parts of the country armed rebels are in control.
