Around 130 People Killed in C. Africa since Friday

At least 127 people have been killed and some 100 others wounded in violence in the Central African Republic over the past three days, the country's Red Cross office said on Monday.

The president of the country's Red Cross Antoine Mbaobogo said 25 bodies had been collected in Bangui, 97 in the north-western town of Bozoum and five in M'Bata in the south-west.

The deaths occurred after the country's interim president Michel Djotodia resigned on Friday under pressure from regional African leaders.
