Central African National Liberation Movement




MCLN created a military wing, ''Forces Armées de Libération Militaire''.

On July 14 1981 MCLN bombed a popular movie theatre in Bangui . Three people were killed and several others injured. MCLN took responsibility for the act and claimed that such attacks would only be stopped if French troops withdrew. The regime answered by banning MCLN and several other (more peaceful) opposition groups.

MCLN was supported by Libya . Claimed links to MCLN was often used by the regime to dislegimitize the major opposition forces in the country.
