BANGUI, Central African Republic — Central African President Francois Bozize on Wednesday sacked his son, who was defence minister, and the army chief, as he prepared to enter talks with a rebellion that has conquered much of the country in three weeks.

"Defence minister Jean-Francis Bozize was dismissed, as was the army chief of staff. The head of state takes over the (defence) portfolio," a statement issued by the presidency said.
