France's remaining 47 troops in the Central African Republic leave the war-torn country amid worsening diplomatic relations between Bangui and Paris
The operation, named Sangaris, was France's seventh military intervention in the CAR since the country gained independence in 1960.
Forty-seven troops from a logistical support unit left Bangui airport aboard a C-130 transporter aircraft on Thursday, becoming the last of a 130-person French contingent to leave the troubled country. France, the former colonial power, dispatched up to 1,600 troops to help stabilise the country after a coup in 2013 unleashed a civil war along sectarian lines.
In December 2020, President Faustin Archange Touadera brought in Russian paramilitaries to help him fend off rebel groups advancing on the capital. Paris last year decided to suspend military cooperation with Bangui, deeming it complicit in an anti-French campaign allegedly steered by Russia.
