Ousted C. African Republic leader in Cameroon

          
Francois Bozize, the former leader of Central African Republic toppled in coup on Sunday, is currently in Cameroon, according to a statement by Cameroon's presidency read on state radio on Monday.            

"This is to inform the public and the international community that the ousted president of the Central African Republic, Francois Bozize, is currently in Cameroon, while still looking for another country where he will seek refugee," said Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, Secretary-General at the presidency.                   

Earlier, the African Union has suspended the Central African Republic after rebels seized power, and also imposed travel bans and asset freezes on rebel leaders, a senior AU official said on Monday.                           
"The (Peace and Security) Council has decided to suspend with immediate effect the Central African Republic from all the African Union's activities," Ramtane Lamamra, the AU's Commissioner for Peace and Security, told reporters in the Ethiopian capital, where the AU is based.
