BANGUI, Central African Republic, Dec 27, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Polling
stations opened Sunday for presidential and legislative elections in the
Central African Republic, AFP journalists saw, as the country remains torn by
civil war and a new rebel offensive threatens the capital.
There was a delay of around 50 minutes before polling stations in Bangui
opened as voting materials had not been delivered on time, AFP journalists
saw, while UN peacekeepers and local and Rwandan soldiers were patrolling the
streets of the capital with armoured vehicles posted outside voting places.
