President Hollande to Visit French Troops in CAR Friday
President Francois Hollande will visit French troops deployed in the Central African Republic on Friday and meet with the interim president of the troubled former colony, his office said.
Hollande will have talks with Catherine Samba Panza, address some of the soldiers and also meet with religious leaders during a brief stopover in the capital Bangui on his way back from Nigeria, where he is attending a summit with African leaders.
It will be the second time that Hollande has visited the CAR since he ordered a force that now stands at 2,000 troops into the country in December to stem sectarian violence.
