BANGUI, 11 June 2021(TON): On Thursday, Firmin Ngrebada the PM of Central African Republic resigned from his office along with his cabinet.

In February 2019, Ngrebada was made prime minister. Before his appointment as the PM,  he had served as President Faustine-Archange Touadera's chief of cabinet.

A spokesman for the presidency said Ngrebada could be asked to lead a new government.

His resignation comes after strained political and diplomatic ties with former colonial ruler France.

Paris announced this week that it was suspending military assistance to Bangui, saying authorities in the African country were complicit in a Russian propaganda campaign against its forces and diplomats.
