UN peacekeepers in Central African Republic have a new commander. Bela Keita, a Senegalese general with a no-nonsense reputation arrived in Bangui about a month ago. And the general consensus in the capital is that in recent weeks, security has improved. He has instructed his troops to “change their posture” by taking a more aggressive approach.
