BANGUI (Reuters) - Central African Republic's mainly Muslim Seleka rebel group has reinstated Michel Djotodia as its leader, a spokesman said, months after international pressure forced him to step aside for failing to halt violence that erupted after he seized power last year.

Djotodia's reinstatement risks complicating peace talks due to take place in the neighbouring Republic of Congo later this month between Seleka leaders and the 'anti-balaka' militia that they have been fighting against for months.
