Opposition leaders and civil society associations gathered in the Central African Republic's capital, Bangui, on Saturday to demonstrate against the attempted revision of the Constitution. The protest was called one day after President Faustin Archange Touadera ordered the creation of a committee to rewrite the constitution. One opposition leader denounced the initiative accusing the President of trying to scrap the two-term presidential limit set in the Constitution. This is not the priority of the Central African people. Less than one in three voters were able to cast a ballot in a country of some five million which the UN says is the world's second least developed nation.
