C.African president in storm after top judge sacked

The president of the troubled Central African Republic, Faustin Archange Touadera, on Tuesday fired the country's top judge, a move the opposition lashed as a "constitutional coup" aimed at extending his time in power. A coalition of opposition parties and civil society groups, the Republican Bloc for Defending the Constitution (BRDC), accused Touadera of mounting "a constitutional coup d'etat."
