Gabon To Keep 444 troops In UN Mission ain CAR.
A government statement said the reversal followed "several requests and appeals from CAR President Faustin-Archange Touadera and the UN Secretary General" Antonio Guterres.
This was "in line with African solidarity and the excellence of the relations of friendship and brotherhood with the Central African people", the text released late on Wednesday said.
Touadera had visited Gabon last month and asked Gabonese leader Ali Bongo to maintain the troops in the UN force MINUSCA, saying he needed "this force in our quest for stability."
The Gabonese army would also train CAR officers in Gabon and help re-organise the army of a perennially unstable country, the statement said.
