U.S. Airlifts African Troops into the Central African Republic 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
The United States is providing an airlift of African troops into the
Central African Republic amidst sectarian violence that has left
hundreds dead. French troops entered the C.A.R. last week after fighting
between Christians and Muslims claimed more than 400 lives. The country
has faced a spiraling crisis after the ouster of President François
Bozizé by Muslim rebels in March. On Monday, fighting continued between
French soldiers and rebels around the capital Bangui.
