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]
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]
