Arrivé au pouvoir par les armes le week-end dernier, Michel Djotodia précise ses intentions : il dirigera le pays pendant trois ans, mais ne sera pas candidat à la prochaine présidentielle – une certaine ambigüité régnait.

Michel Djotodia arrived at the presidential palace in Bangui, the capital, with weapons last weekend and specified his intentions: He will lead the country for three years, but he will not be a candidate in the next presidential election – a certain ambiguity exists.

Il est le nouvel homme fort du pays, après le coup d’Etat qui a renversé le président sortant, François Bozizé, le week-end dernier : Michel Djotodia s’est auto-proclamé président en début de semaine, et dévoile un peu ses intentions ce samedi.

He is the new strong man in the country, after the military takeover that ousted the president Francois Bozizé last weekend: Michel Djotia proclaimed himself president at the beginning of the week, and unvieled his intentions somewhat on Saturday.

Lors d’un discours public à Bangui, devant 2 à 3.000 personnes venues manifester leur soutien au nouveau régime, Michel Djotodia a été très clair :  “Je demande à Dieu tout-puissant de me donner la force et l’intelligence à moi et mon Premier ministre (…) de bien gérer la Centrafrique pendant les trois ans à venir. Nous allons remettre le pouvoir à celui qui viendra nous succéder.”

Giving a public speech before 2,000 to 3,000 supporters, Michel Djotodia was clear: “I ask the all powerful god to give me the strength and intelligence to me and my Prime Minister to manage well CentralAfrica for the next three years. We are going to do this and will succeed.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
