French Troops Start Disarming C.Africa Rebels
French troops on Monday began disarming rebel fighters in Central African Republic, the army said in Paris, after an upsurge in violence that killed nearly 400 people.
"Things are going fairly well," a spokesman for the general staff told Agence France Presse.
As the operation got underway, there was a brief exchange of gunfire between armed men and the troops near the airport at the capital Bangui, AFP photographers said. There was no initial indication of casualties.
