some reported firefights between the french troops and rebels.... (of any group)

On the same day, French troops were attacked by Séléka elements near RDOT camps, on the Northern side of the town, where around 1000 Séléka troops were stationned. The French replied in kind, using ERC 90 Sagaie wheeled tanks and killing a dozen Séléka fighters.

From 13 to 16 April, infighting between Seleka and Anti-Balaka in Grimari killed several dozens.[67] The French forces interveened and were in turn attacked by a 20-strong Anti-Balaka force; the return fire from the French killed five of the attackers.[68]

On 4 August, a fight broke out when a French recce mission encountered a 100-strong Seleka force near Batangafo. Benefitting from the support of Rafale planes and helicopters, the French prevailed without casualties on their side, while several Seleka were killed.[76][77][78][79] Combat resumed the next day in Batangafo, where 60 Seleka were killed while two Congolese were killed and two French were wounded.[80][81]

On 20 October, the Seleka massacred 14 people in Dekoa, including three women and four children.[82] The French interveened soon after, killing at least six Seleka including a Colonel.l[83][84]
