Central African Republic: Chad’s army pushed out rebels of Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace Movement from town of Birao
Chad’s army says it has entered the northwest part of neighbouring Central African Republic and pushed out a group of rebels that had attempted to take a town there.
The army chief said late on Tuesday that soldiers crossed the border to the town of Birao which was occupied by rebels from the Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace Movement.
The army says no children or women were killed in the short operation, but did not give details on combatant deaths.
The rebels had entered the town last week.
