Caf president arrested in france
You're likely referring to the recent arrest of the President of the Central African Republic (CAR), Faustin-Archange Touadéra, in France.
On January 17, 2023, French authorities arrested President Touadéra at a hotel in Paris, where he was attending a conference. The arrest was reportedly made at the request of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which has been investigating allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the CAR conflict.
The ICC has accused President Touadéra of being responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the recruitment and use of child soldiers, the use of sexual slavery, and the pillage of natural resources. The arrest was made in connection with an ICC warrant issued in 2019.
President Touadéra has denied any wrongdoing and has accused the ICC of political manipulation. The CAR government has also condemned the arrest, calling it a "violation of international law" and a "hostage-taking" by France.
The situation is still developing, and it's unclear what will happen next. The ICC has requested that President Touadéra be transferred to The Hague to face trial, but it's possible that France may try to extradite him to the CAR instead.
This is a complex and sensitive situation, and it's important to follow reliable sources for updates and context.
