The United Nations has imposed sanctions on the Central African Republic’s former President Francois Bozize and two rebel leaders for undermining peace and fuelling violence in the conflict-torn country.
They are the first Central Africans to be sanctioned under a U.N. Security Council resolution adopted in January.
An alliance of Muslim rebel groups known as the Seleka overthrew Mr. Bozize in March 2013. They quickly became despised by Christians in the capital after Muslim fighters went on looting sprees, raping and killing civilians at random.
