notes: 26 October. Sporadic gunshots heard for a few minutes in PK5, Bambari and Bria following the dismissal of Mechassoua. Mechassoua, a Muslim, was seen as a balancing force against the Christian presidency. His dismissal is viewed by some as an attempt by President Touadera to concentrate his control and created a fall out in PK5 and among the CNDS ex-Seleka coalition.
