U.N. Calls Emergency Talks after Deadly Central Africa Coup
2013-03-26
[An Nahar] The U.N. Security Council will hold urgent talks Monday after a bloody coup in Central Africa sent ousted leader Francois Bozize fleeing across the border, and left 13 South African soldiers dead.

Diplomats in New York said the 15-nation council would meet to discuss the rapidfire assault in which rebels seized the capital Bangui on Sunday after the collapse of a two-month-old peace deal with Bozize's regime.

Amid growing international condemnation of the coup, which the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
said was "unacceptable", the Security Council was set to call for a swift return to democracy.

"There is a new president, self-proclaimed in a totally unconstitutional way and the question we are all asking is how to come back to a constitutional situation, how to have elections as quickly as possible," La Belle France's U.N. ambassador Gerard Araud told news hounds as he announced the meeting.
