Benin let-go CAR rebel leaders

afrol News, 20 February - After 16 months in detention in Cotonou, Benin, the two Central African rebel leaders have been released.

Abakar Sabone and Michel Am-Nondroko Djotodia serve as the President and Spokesman of the Union of Rally for the Democratic Forces.

Their arrest and subsequent detention was effected by an international warrant issued by the government of the CAR after it had accused the men of attempting to dislodge President François Bozize from power.

Benin authorities released the men after they expressed commitment to engage the government on peace talks.

Central African authorities have been engaging all its opponents - armed and unarmed - in peace talks in an effort to end the looming insecurity and armed banditry in their country's northern region. The region has been going through rebel incursions.

Not all rebel groups have agreed to join the internal peace talks. A group that calls itself the Popular Army for the Restoration of Democracy said they would not answer to the peace calls outside the mediation of the Burkinabé` President Blaise Compaoré.
