African Union authorizes bigger force for C. African Republic
      
The African Union has authorized increasing an African force being deployed to the Central African Republic to 6,000 troops from 2,500, a senior AU official told Reuters on Friday.       

"The decision by the Peace and Security Council (PSC) is to authorize us to increase the force. We can go up to 6,000, depending on the needs," El Ghassim Wane, Director of the African Union's Peace and Security Department, said.         

"Within three months the PSC will meet again to review the strength based on the evolution of the situation and our assessment of the situation on what needs to be done," he said.
