On Friday, October 25, a committee of lawyers representing former President Bozizé currently in exile in Uganda announced that he had filed two motions with the Bangui Administrative Court concerning the November 17, 2016 circular of the Ministry of Transport prohibiting the airlines serving Bangui. to embark François Bozizé.

The circular states that any airline that violates these instructions will not only be denied a landing at Bangui Airport and will be subject to substantial penalties.

Maître Tiangaye, of the collective of lawyers of François Bozizé, considers that the circular must be withdrawn. " We seek justice so that this measure is arbitrary and illegal because it transgresses not only the Constitution of the Central African Republic, but also the international commitments of human rights - especially the international conventions of human rights - that this circular is simply canceled for President Bozizé to return to his country . "

The former president is currently under UN sanctions: freezing his assets and travel ban. But for the collective this does not prevent the return of François Bozizé in Bangui.

" No UN Security Council resolution forces ex-president Bozizé into exile, and there is no requirement for a state to deny entry to its own nationals. To assert the contrary means that former President François Bozizé must be forced into exile. "

The peace agreement signed on February 6 provides for a law on the status of former heads of state. The text has not yet been presented to the National Assembly.

KNK announced candidate , to be able to run in the next elections, according to the electoral code, François Bozizé must be back in Bangui before the end of December.
