Central African Patriotic Movement (MPC, French : Mouvement patriotique pour la Centrafrique) is a rebel group in the Central African Republic based in the northwestern part of the country. [2]

History

MPC was formed in July 2015 by Mahamat Al-Khatim. In October 2016, they were accused in taking part in attack which killed 37 civilians, however Al-Khatim denied these claims. [3] In May 2018, MNLC leader, Ahmat Bahar announced that his group was merging with MPC. On 17 December 2020, MPC joined Coalition of Patriots for Change. [4]
