US military to fly AU troops to C. Africa: officials
The US military will help fly African Union peacekeeping troops to the Central African Republic as part of a French-led effort to restore security there, US officials said Monday. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who was in Qatar on a tour of the region, has ordered American forces "to begin transporting forces from Burundi to the Central African Republic, in coordination with France," his spokesman said in a statement. The Pentagon will make two C-17 transport planes available to transport roughly 850 Burundian soldiers, a US defense official said on condition of anonymity, noting: "We hope to start tomorrow." "In the near term, France has requested airlift support to enable African forces to deploy promptly to prevent the further spread of sectarian violence in the Central African Republic," he said.
