adminBANGUI. — The Central African Republic’s capital city of Bangui was caught in tension after an ex-presidential guard was killed on Sunday by fighters allied to Seleka, the ex-rebels who took over power in March. Tanguy Touaboy, former guard of the deposed president Francois Bozize, died after being shot by ex-Seleka fighters, with whom he had disagreed at a local bar in the capital’s Miskine zone.
His body was discovered near the residence of the president of the National Transition Council (NTC, the transitional legislative organ), Alexandre Ferdinand Nguendet. The assassination provoked anger among the residents of the zone who, like everyone else across the country, complained about the abuses committed by ex-Seleka fighters since taking over power from Bozize on March 24. — Xinhua.
