Christians, Muslims Clash in Central African Republic

One year ago, an alliance of Muslim rebel groups within Central African Republic (CAR), calling itself Seleka, launched an effort to overthrow the government. The majority of the country's population is Christian, with only 10 to 15 percent identifying as Muslim, but Seleka's campaign was successful. The rebels began by capturing small towns, and by March, they had seized the capital, Bangui. Throughout 2013, members of the Muslim Seleka groups reportedly launched waves of attacks on civilians in Christian areas, looting, raping, and and killing at will. In the past few months, Christian militias have emerged, calling themselves "anti-balaka," or anti-machete. Their actions have gone beyond self-defense, spilling into vicious reprisals against Muslim neighbors and others they view as complicit. More than a thousand people in CAR have been killed in the past month alone. Foreign soldiers form the African Union and France have quickly built up a presence, hoping to fend off a feared genocide.

Vor einem Jahr versuchte ein Zusammenschluss der muslimischen Rebellengruppen in der Zentralafrikanischen Republik (CAR) , die sich selbst Seleka nannte, die Regierung zu stürzen. Die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung des Landes sind Christen, und nur 10 bis 15 Prozent sind Muslime , aber die Seleka Kampagne war erfolgreich. Die Rebellen begannen mit der Besetzung von kleinen Städten , und im März besetzten sie die Hauptstadt Bangui. Im Jahr 2013 begannen die Mitglieder der muslimischen Gruppen Seleka angeblich mit Angriffen auf Zivilisten in christlichen Gebieten , Plünderungen, Vergewaltigungen und Ermordungen . In den vergangenen Monaten sind die christlichen Milizen entstanden, die sich selbst " Anti Balaka " oder Anti- Machete nennen. Ihre Aktionen sind über Selbstverteidigung hinausgegangen , sie schwappten über in teuflische Repressalien gegen muslimische Nachbarn und andere die sie als mitschuldig erachteten . Mehr als tausend Menschen in CAR sind allein im letzten Monat getötet worden. Ausländische Soldaten bilden die Afrikanische Union und Frankreich haben schnell eine Präsenz aufgebaut um einem befürchteten Völkermord zu begegnen.
