CAR elections: Polls close amid threat of violence
Al Jazeera, 28 Dec 2020
Central African Republic officials are counting votes after Sunday's elections where people defied threats of violence to turn out in large numbers.
Rebel groups some of which the government says are linked to former President Francois Bozize threatened to march on the capital and disrupt a vote they say is rigged.
President Faustin-Archange Touadera is the frontrunner and is seeking a second term
