France striving to stop C.African Republic split, Hollande says

President Francois Hollande told the Central African Republic on Friday that French troops stationed there would work to stop the country splitting in two and disarm militias and bandits fighting local Muslims.

Arriving in Bangui from Nigeria, where he attended an event marking the centenary of its unification, Hollande met interim President Catherine Samba-Panza and addressed French troops.

France’s parliament voted on Tuesday to extend the troops’ mission, despite tepid popular support at home for a military operation in the former French colony where thousands of people have been killed and around a million forced from their homes.
