Description
Profile of Francois Bozize, former Central African president and one of the main leaders of the Central African rebellion, as he leaves Chad, where he was exiled, for Guinea-Bissau, which has agreed to host him. Mr. Bozize, whose fall in 2013 to a rebel movement had triggered a civil war that continues today, had taken refuge in N'Djamena in late 2021. But his presence in Chad, while his Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC), the main rebel movement, pursues a guerrilla war in the north of the country, had considerably strained relations between the two neighbouring countries, with Bangui accusing N'Djamena of letting the rebellion operate from its territory.
