jean-luc mandaba

jean-luc mandaba -lrb- 15 august 1943 -- 22 october 2000 -rrb- was prime minister of the central african republic from 25 october 1993 to 12 april 1995 under president ange-félix patassé .
mandaba , a former health minister , was forced to resign as prime minister pre-empting a threatened vote of no-confidence in patassé 's government following accusations of corruption and incompetence .
after the second army mutiny of 1996 , he and jean serge ouafio set up the ` karako ' militia forces , which patassé then brought into the military to balance the predominance of southern yakoma in the armed forces inherited from the kolingba era .
after attending a dinner to celebrate the first anniversary of patassé 's second term on 21 october 2000 , mandaba suddenly felt sick and died at home of a heart attack .
his family claimed that mandaba was in fact poisoned at the dinner party , as he supposedly was thought to plan a coup to overthrow patassé .
their suspicion was strongly supported when his 31-year-old son hervé died under similar circumstances a few weeks later .
