Rebels in the Central African Republic are reported to be fighting running battles with government troops in the northern suburbs of the capital Bangui, days after resuming their uprising against President Francois Bozize. A spokesman for the rebel Seleka coalition said its forces were heading for the presidential palace. Richard Hamilton reports.
据悉,中非共和国叛军与政府军在首都班基北部郊区展开了运动战,几天前他们再次对总统弗朗索瓦·博齐泽发起起义。“塞雷卡”叛军的发言人称其军队正向总统府迈进。Richard Hamilton报道。
The rebels say they’ve shot down an attack helicopter which had been supporting the government forces. People are said to be sheltering in their homes, many in the darkness since the rebels reportedly took out a power station providing electricity to parts of the city. A local United Nations official in southern Bangui said people were in the state of panic. Earlier some UN staff who were trying to leave were stopped at the airport. South Africa has sent 400 soldiers to support President Bozize who returned to Pretoria on Friday where he was meeting President Jacob Zuma.
叛军称击落了一架一直支持政府军的武装直升机,据悉人们在家中避难,据说自从叛军夺下为该市部分地区提供电力的发电厂后,很多人生活在黑暗中。联合国驻班基南部官员称人们非常惊慌,早些时候,一些试图离开的联合国人员被拦截在机场。南非已派遣400名士兵支持总统博齐泽,博齐泽周五返回比勒陀利亚,他在那里会见了总统雅各布·祖马。
