U.S. closes embassy in rebel-hit Central African Republic
Africa & World Politics, American Politics, Headlines Friday, December 28th, 2012The United States said on Thursday it was suspending operations
at its embassy in the Central African Republic as rebels appeared
poised to move on the capital of the impoverished but resource-rich
nation.
U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the U.S.
embassy had temporarily suspended operations and that the U.S.
ambassador and other embassy personnel had left the country.
“This decision is solely due to concerns about the security of our
personnel and has no relation to our continuing and long-standing
diplomatic relations with the CAR,” Ventrell said in a statement.
