BANGUI (Reuters) - The commander of French forces in Central African Republic said on Monday that Christian 'anti-balaka' militias had become the main threat to peace in the country, a day after gunmen murdered a legislator who suggested they be disarmed.
Jean-Emmanuel Djarawa, a member of the transitional assembly meant to guide the country to elections next year, was shot near his home in Bangui after he made a speech calling for the militia to be confined to barracks. No one claimed responsibility for his killing.
