FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Unidentified assailants have shot and killed a lawmaker in the Central African Republic’s interim parliament in the capital Bangui, a human rights group has said.
The Central African League of Human Rights said on Sunday that gunmen killed Jean-Emmanuel Ndjaroua, representative of the southeast region of Haute Kotto, in the capital.
Residents said that Ndjaroua was killed by members of the anti-Balaka vigilante group, which is currently engaged in armed resistance against Seleka rebels.
The slain lawmaker belonged to the transitional parliament set up to lead the country to elections after President Michel Djotodia resigned in January.
There was no official confirmation of the report.

Paris claims the aim of the mission is to create stability in the country in order to allow humanitarian aid to reach violence-hit areas.
