French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius confirmed earlier in the afternoon that Central African Republic President Francois Bozize had fled Bangui as the capital city was seized by the rebels.
Bozize fled the presidential palace in the capital Bangui 30 minutes before rebels began to zero in on the compound, Bozize's office said on Sunday.
