France on Monday formally ended a peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic, hailing it a success despite sporadic outbreaks of violence in its deeply troubled former colony.
Clashes between militia groups in the Central African Republic have killed 25 people including six gendarmes caught in an ambush, the UN peacekeeping mission to the country, MINUSCA, said on Saturday.
Voters in the Central African Republic return to the polls Sunday to cast their ballots in a presidential run-off they hope will help usher in a new era of peace and stability after years of sectarian bloodshed.
