BANGUI (Reuters) - The new government of Central African Republic has issued an international arrest warrant against deposed former president Francois Bozize, accusing him of "crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide", the state prosecutor said on Friday.

Thousands of fighters from the Seleka rebel coalition, angered by what they said was Bozize's refusal to honour an earlier peace deal, marched into the capital Bangui on March 24, forcing him to flee to neighbouring Cameroon.
