The former Central African president is officially back in the wilderness.
François Bozizé was announced on Sunday as the leader of the Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC), a rebel group that has launched an offensive to overthrow the President Faustin Archange Touadéra.
The CPC spokesman announced that Bozizé has responded favorably to the call to be the movement's general coordinator.
