The Central African Republic’s President, Michel Djotodia, resigned today, after receiving pressure form regional and international leaders to step down, after failing to halt months of inter-religious violence that has left 1 million people internally displaced.
The resignation was announced in a statement by the regional Economic Community of Central African States (Eccas), who held discussions with Djodia and CAR’s ruling National Transitional Council (CNT).
The meeting of the 10 nation Eccas community was aimed at producing a plan to end the worsening violence engulfing CAR.
The resignation comes amidst fears of the conflict situation deteriorating into sectarian genocide.
