Ex-C. African Republic leader seeks Benin exile

COTONOU, Benin (AP) ? The government of Benin says ousted Central African Republic President Francois Bozize is seeking exile in the tiny West African nation.

Benin's Foreign Affairs Minister Nassirou Arifari Bako confirmed late Thursday that Bozize had asked to come there after initially fleeing to Cameroon, though Bako said nothing had been decided yet.

Thousands of armed rebels invaded the capital of Central African Republic last weekend, and Bozize and his family fled amid the chaos.

Bozize, who himself took power after a rebellion a decade ago, had signed a peace agreement in January with the rebels. The deal fell apart and rebel leader Michel Djotodia has now declared himself the new president of Central African Republic.
