CAR armed factions sign ceasefire pact!

Representatives of the majority-Muslim Seleka have signed a ceasefire agreement with Christian factions to end fighting in the Central African Republic.

The signing of the pact on Wednesday in Brazzaville, the capital of neighboring Republic of Congo, came after heavy pressure from regional mediators, aims to put an end to months of sectarian violence.

It is however not clear if the ceasefire will be respected by the fighters in Central African Republic.

Mohamed Moussa Dhaffane represented the Seleka faction. 

CAR has been gripped by ethnic and religious violence since northern Seleka rebels seized power in the predominantly Christian nation in 2013.

The Seleka left power in January under international pressure and since then anti-balaka Christian militias have targeted Muslims.

Those attacks have largely driven Muslims from the capital Bangui and the west, effectively partitioning the country, whose east is controlled mainly by Seleka.

A civilian transitional government is now tasked with organizing national elections by February.

Gen. Buhari's convoy attacked as deadly explosion rocks Kaduna!

Two explosions have ripped through the northern Nigeria city of Kaduna, killing at least 40 people, police say.

The first explosion targeted moderate Islamic cleric Dahiru Bauchi while the second one targeted senior opposition leader Muhammadu Buhari, a BBC reporter in the city says. Both escaped unhurt.

There are body parts and damaged cars on the busy Alkali Road in the city centre where the bomb targeting Mr Bauchi exploded, reports the BBC's Abdullahi Kaura Abubakar from the scene. 

Kaduna Police chief Shehu Umar said at least 25 people were killed in that blast, apparently caused by a suicide bomber. 

Another 15 were killed in the second blast, he said. 

Mr Bauchi had completed a preaching session in the nearby Murtala Muhammed square, and was driving through the area in an open-roofed vehicle, greeting well-wishers when he was targeted. 

It was revealed that followers of the renowned cleric have reacted angrily, throwing stones at the security forces and accusing them of failing to protect Nigerians, our reporter says; the security forces retaliated by firing tear gas. 

About 90 minutes after the first attack, a second explosion ripped through the crowded Kawo area, targeting the motorcade of Gen Buhari, a former military ruler of Nigeria and a senior member of the All Progressive Congress opposition party. 



Information given by BBC's reporters says gunmen rammed a vehicle into his convoy, firing shots at it, as a result, two of Gen Buhari's bodyguards were slightly wounded in the attack.
