The former president of the Central African Republic Francois Bozize has taken charge of a rebel alliance aiming to overthrow the central government, the group's spokesman told AFP Sunday. Bozize's spokesman Serge Bozanga confirmed he had agreed to become "general coordinator" of the so-called Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC), which attempted to block President Faustin Archange Touadera's January reelection, only to see their offensive repulsed. clt-dyg/tgb/gd
