In the Central African Republic, despite the violent attacks of the rebellion, President Faustin-Archange Touadéra does not want the presidential election and legislative elections scheduled for next Sunday to be postponed.

He said it Monday at a press conference in Bangui.

Is it true that former President François Bozizé is behind the rebellion?

Is it possible to vote next Sunday in peace and transparency throughout the country?

Hans De Marie Heungoup, researcher on Central Africa at the International Crisis Group, answers RFI's questions.
