On the Brink of a Pre-Election Political Crisis
Sunday saw the Coalition of the Democratic Opposition (COD-2020) i.e. a union of political oppositions parties in the Central African Republic, call for the postponement of presidential and legislative elections scheduled for Dec 27 until the re-establishment of peace and security."
This comes a day after the government accused the group's former leader - ex-president Francois Bozize, of trying to stage a coup d'etat.
Hubert Wanto, a local in the capital city, is frustrated with the political games, "We have had enough of this behaviour which divides people on the eve of an election. Our politicians play us off against one another while they get along well with each other, but they push us to divide, to kill each other."
