BANGUI (Reuters) – Crucial elections
scheduled to take place in the Central African Republic on Sunday have
been postponed by three days until Dec. 30, Prime Minster Mahamat Kamoun
said on Thursday.
The polls are meant to restore democratic rule after
mainly Muslim rebels seized power in the majority Christian nation in
early 2013, provoking reprisals from Christian militias that triggered a
cycle of inter-religious killings.
Kamoun said the postponement was needed because ballots had arrived late and poll workers still needed to receive training.
