The Central African Republic's President Michel Djotodia said Saturday he was ready to hold talks with Christian militia groups involved in sectarian violence sweeping the country. Djotodia, who became the majority Christian nation's first Muslim president after a March coup, told French radio RFI he was ready to "extend his hand" and "talk" with the militia on issues including an amnesty for their role in the unrest and including them in his transitional government. "They are not enemies. They are our brothers," he said.
