The future of Michel Djotodia, the interim President of the troubled Central African Republic, hangs in the balance as he attends a regional summit in Chad.<br /><br />It is thought he may be asked to stand aside after his failure to contain the violence between Christian and Muslim militias.<br /><br />Seleka rebels carried out a coup in March last year ousting President Francois Bozize handing power to Djotodia, the country’s first Muslim President. <br /><br />Seleka has since been disbanded by the new president, but he has been unable to reign in the murder. <br /><br />The brutality of the Seleka rebellion prompted Christians to take up arms in self-defence.<br /><br />As many as 1,000 people have been killed in December alone with close to million displaced by the fighting. <br /><br />Former colonial power, France, has deployed 1,600 troops to the county backed by 4,000 African peacekeepers.
