The people of the Central African Republic have never had it easy - "Emperor" Bokassa springs to mind - but if this is any indication, hopefully things will improve in the future. We can hope, anyway.

Good news of course, but its still leagues away from solving all the problems. If the root cause isn't solved the country's future is still uncertain....


BTW, updates on SYAE?

wait one say
An opposition leader in Central African Republic has called on his fighters to lay down their weapons after he signed a peace deal with Francois Bozize, the country's president

and the only say
In return, the rebels will be absorbed into the national army and given the right to participate in government.


so lay down our guns and pick them up in about 1 hour

Well, this is no bad thing, of course. Hopefully, this will allow the government to concentrate on the real issues facing the people of the CAR (as much as current situations allow) instead on fighting.
