France started withdrawing its soldiers from the Central African Republic, less than a week after Faustin-Archange Touadera was sworn in as president of the war-torn nation.

Military vehicles and equipment are being flown from the capital, Bangui, to an air base in neighboring Cameroon and will be shipped from the port of Douala, the French Embassy in Cameroon said in a statement on its website Wednesday.
