Chad to withdraw troops from AU Mission in CAR

Chad said its citizens were being maliciously blamed for the CAR violence. Chad’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Thursday that it planned to withdraw its troops from an African Union peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic, CAR. Chadian soldiers have been at the heart of African efforts to stabilise CAR but its forces have been accused of siding with the mainly Muslim Seleka rebels whose seizure of power last year sparked tit-for-tat violence with Christian militia. It said this has become imperative because in spite of its sacrifices, Chad and Chadians have been targeted in a gratuitous and malicious campaign that blamed them for all the suffering in CAR. It said its troops would remain in place while the practicalities of the withdrawal were confirmed. There was no official reaction from France or the AU force, known as MISCA. However, the decision appeared to be a setback for France, which has deployed 2,000 troops, in a bid to restore peace to its former colony, a landlocked nation rich in gold, diamonds and uranium that has seen little but instability since independence in 1960. The dominant military force in the region, Chad, has established itself as a key African ally for Paris and contributed roughly 850 troops to the 6,000-strong African Union peacekeeping mission.

Your bridal gown maker will need to be willing to make dress
alterations if need be. Regardless of whether or not it
makes sense, the fact is that any bride is going to have a difficult
time finding a modest bridal gown – so she might as well know what to do about the situation. Brides
who groom up with such designer dresses are
bound to create the fuss and hype about them during this
big day. But it is little cruel to those having
small breasts as it does not fit well on them and looks unattractive.
Every woman is considered to be a heroine on the day of her
wedding, no matter how she looks.
