The leader of rebels who
have seized the capital of the Central African Republic says he is
suspending the constitution and dissolving parliament.
Michel Djotodia said there would be a transition period until
"credible and transparent" elections, during which he would "legislate
by decree".He added he would uphold a peace deal that promises elections in three years.
Ousted CAR leader Francois Bozize has fled to neighbouring Cameroon, officials there have announced.
Following the takeover, the African Union has suspended CAR and imposed sanctions on rebel leaders.
