Libreville – The Central African Republic’s recently toppled president Francois Bozize on Tuesday accused neighbouring Chad of helping the Seleka rebel coalition that ousted him.

“On Saturday March 23 we had destroyed Seleka forces but overnight into Sunday 24, we knew that there had been support from an African country, which I inevitably believe was Chad,” Bozize said in an interview with BBC Africa.

“It was Chadian special forces that led the operation on the Sunday morning and attacked the base of the South Africans,” he added, referring to troops stationed in Bangui, 13 of whom died in clashes with rebels.
