                            23 Killed in CAR Unrest

   Clashes between local militias and the disbanded rebel group that
   backed the president of the Central African Republic have left at least
   23 people dead.
   Security officials and witnesses say the fighting between the militias
   and the former Seleka rebels erupted early Tuesday in a remote village
   in CAR`s northwestern region.
   There was no immediate word on what triggered the unrest or who started
   the fighting. CAR military officials told VOA the former Seleka rebels
   were able to repel the militias.
   Last month, CAR President Michel Djotodia announced he had disbanded
   the Seleka rebel group which helped bring him to power.
   In March, Mr. Djotodia led a coalition of armed groups, under the same
   Seleka, to topple President Francois Bozize and end his 10-year rule.
   Seleka, however, has since been blamed for clashes with rival militias
   as well as a surge of murders, rapes, robberies and auto thefts.
   The Central African Republic has endured a long series of coups and
   rebellions since gaining independence from France in 1960.
