France sent about 150 more troops to Bangui to support a peace-keeping mission and help protect the 1,200 French citizens living in the Central African Republic capital.
The soldiers were deployed yesterday morning from Gabon to join 250 troops already at the Bangui airport, said Michel Delannoy, a spokesman for the French troops at Camp de Gaulle in Libreville, Gabon’s capital. Delannoy spoke by telephone today.
