Ramadan Death Count: Central African Republic: 01/05/20

(N'dele)  The Central African Republic has witnessed nothing but murder,death kill after Islamic groups took over the primarily christian (80%) country in 2013 . The problem there was 80% Christian will always outweigh the 10% Muslim population and in the push back entire Islamic communities were forced to move resulting in a religious demographic shift where the north of the country is populated by Muslims and the rest of the country by Christians.


In the north, the remnants of the Islamic groups Séléka split into two main groups and are still slugging it out amongst themselves in which to see who will be leader. Which is why different factions of the Popular Front for the Rebirth of the Central African Republic (FPRC) had a huge bun fight  on Wednesday in the town of N'dele resulting in 25 deaths.

Ramadan Death Count: Central African Republic 25/05/19

(Ouham-Pendé) The Central African Republic a Christianmajority country (80% ) in the Northern part of central Africa  is faced on 3 sides by Muslim majority countries the other countries (Congo/South Sudan and Uganda) have sizable Islamic populations. 


It appears that the faithful weren’t happy having a sizable chunk of Christian land in their midst and so in 2004 they started a bush war in the north of the country in which to enforce their will and their faith onto the kuffer. In 2012 the rebels joined forces to form Séléka . A deal was made by the president for the Islamic rebels to power share, but that deal fell by the wayside and the rebels went on the rampage installing their own as president . Once in overall power the rebels did what Islamic rebels do to Christians and started killing them. Problem was and still is only 10 % of the country is Islamic and the Christians said enough is enough and fought back  The media painted this as poor Muslims at the hands of Christians , leaving out the salient fact that everybody was happy until the Islamic rebels decided to cross in the country and start their kill fest. The UN was called in and 4 years down the line 13000 UN troops and 2000 French troops separate 2000 Muslim rebels from 72000 Christian fighters.


Problem is the Islamic rebels aren’t happy and from time to time decide to murder death kill simply because they can and on Wednesday they decided to run riot over the province of Ouham Pende (situated next to Islamic Cameroon) killing 50 people.

Central African Republic: Portuguese paratroopers raid rebel base

(Bambari) The Central African Republic has seen nothing but pain and destruction after Islamic rebels took the Christian country at gunpoint in 2013 and decided to make life a living hell for those who didn’t support the faith. 


Problem was as the country is 80% Christian as opposed to 10% Islamic, it wasn’t long before the majority Christian population fought back. The UN sent in troops to try and keep the peace, but as this is the UN (and I've worn the blue Beret)  they will do very little to protect the victims of any conflict allowing those with the bullet and the bomb to have their way. Which is why armed Islamic groups still litter the country and one such group the UPC (Union for Peace in the Central African Republic) decided that as they were short of supplies that they would raid the local town and levy a tax on the inhabitants on the 10th of January. For once the UN decided to actually do something and sent in Portuguese paratroopers to show the UPC that killing non-Muslims in a Christian country will not be tolerated.

C.A.R: Up to 42 Christians murdered by Islamic rebels

(Bria) Reports are coming in that Islamist rebels who used to belong to the now-disbanded Séléka rebel group the Popular Front for the Central African Renaissance (FPRC) murdered up to 42 people at the start of this month in the Central African Republic town of Bria.


The victims were mainly women, who were hacked to death while returning from their farms to the predominantly Christian quarter of Bria, in the centre of the country.

The Central African Republic which is 90% Christian and around 10% Islamic started suffering from an Islamic rebel problem from around 2001.In 2012 the rebels signed a peace agreement with the government, however within days the rebels (all Islamic) decided that control of the country was within their grasp and they achieved this aim a year later with the rebel leader proclaiming himself leader on the 28th March 2013. He disbanded the rebels on the 13th September 2013 and they not happy with being out of a job have been running riot ever since. However in taking control of the country by the use of the bullet and the bomb, the Islamic rebels woke up the 90% Christian majority and they formed anti-rebel groups and have been using sheer weight of numbers to address the balance. For example the Islamic population of Bangui which numbered 138,000 in 2013 had fallen to 900 a year later.

Into the fray entered the French and the UN, however by using so called human rights in which to communicate with the rebels and the anti-rebel groups they have allowed the fires of distrust to continue to burn resulting in many deaths the latest being 42 Christian women.

Central African Republic: Gun attack on church leaves at least 15 dead

(CAR) At least 15 people, including a priest, have been killed in an attack on a church in the Central African Republic capital  Bangui tuesday.

CAR: Fighting between Islamic groups and UN sees 17 dead 100 injured

(Bangui)  In the Central African Republic (C.A.R) clashes have taken place between Islamic rebels groups and the UN resulting in 17 rebels, and 1 UN soldier killed and over 100 injured.


The U.N. said a Rwandan peacekeeper was killed and eight others were wounded Tuesday during “an exchange of fire with armed elements” for several hours in the capital, Bangui. In protest  the corpses of 17 people were laid out in front of the United Nations peacekeeping offices in the Central African Republic’s capital Wednesday in anger over operations against armed groups that has targeted a largely Muslim neighbourhood. In response the UN Spokesperson Vladimir Monteiro said Minusca troops targeted criminal gangs, denying they had fired on civilians.
“This is not an operation against communities and specifically the Muslim community. The Muslim community asked our troops to launch the operation and put an end to the criminal activities,”
C.A.R has been the scene of major unrest after Islamic rebels took control of the mainly Christian country in 2013 resulting in an uprising by the Christians who took out their anger on the minority Islamic population, The UN intervened but despite the presence of over 11,000 UN troops in the country they have been powerless to disarm the Muslim rebels who continue to do their thing and complain when the UN takes action

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: Clashes between Christians and Muslims leaves 37 dead.

(Bangui) 37 people have been killed with many more injured after days of fighting between the  Muslim Seleka rebel group and the Christian anti-Balaka forces  in Alindao, some 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of Bambari on Saturday and Sunday.

Meanwhile UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has condemned the attack carried out by suspected members of the Anti-Balaka group against a UN convoy in the south east of the Central African Republic. The attack led to the death of 5 UN personnel, with 10 others injured. In return 8 Anti-Balaka were killed during the attack.

The Central African Republic descended into conflict in 2013 when Muslim Seleka rebels overthrew the country's Christian president, ushering in a brutal reign. The Christian anti-Balaka militia then retaliated with a backlash against Muslim civilians. The country held successful democratic elections last year, but many remote areas remain outside the government's control. Violence by armed groups has risen sharply since late last year. Factions of the Selekarebel group have also started fighting each other for control in the central region.

Report: C. African Republic Muslims forced to convert

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Muslims in the western part of Central African Republic are being forced to hide their religion or convert to Christianity under threat of death, Amnesty International said Friday.

Central African Republic has been rocked by violence since the mostly Muslim Seleka rebel coalition toppled the longtime president in 2013.

Widespread human rights abuses committed by Seleka led to the formation of a Christian militia known as the anti-Balaka, who have targeted Muslims and sent tens of thousands fleeing to neighboring countries.

Muslims told Amnesty International they've been forced to convert or hide practices.

"We had no choice but to join the Catholic Church. The anti-balaka swore they'd kill us if we didn't," said a 23-year-old man in the Sangha-Mbaere prefecture, whose name was not given to protect his security.

A Muslim trader said it was effectively illegal to pray.

"We have to hide, do it quickly, and do it by ourselves," he said.

Amnesty International said the bans are happening outside areas under the protection of United Nations peacekeepers and renewed efforts must be made to protect Muslims under threat and bring back those who have fled.

"Many of the tens of thousands of Muslim refugees who were expelled from the country in 2014 would one day like to return home, but are waiting until they can do so in a safe and sustainable manner," the report said.

A transitional government was put into place in January 2014. Presidential and legislative elections are slated for Oct. 18.

Infighting between Seleka rebels in CAR kills 17

(Bangui) In the African country of the Central African Republic (CAR), a backlash by the 90% Christian population against the minority Islamic population was started when Islamic Seleka rebels took control of the country by the use of the bullet, the bomb and the machete rather than the ballot box.

Installing their leader Michel Djotodia in March 2013 as the President of the country, whereupon they rampaged across the country raping and killing anybody who stood in their way. By September 2013 Michel Djotodia disbanded them, however, now ostracised, these Islamic thugs didn't want to leave without a fight, and they simply increased their blood lust.

This is where the Christians said enough is enough and fought back, unfortunately for the tiny Islamic population of the country. The world, which didn't do anything when Christians were being murdered, did so when it were Muslims, which is why currently there are 8,000 peacekeeping troops in the country.

The Seleka, made impotent by their lack of support from the government and by no Islamic population to hide behind, have been pushed to the north of the country where they are demanding an Islamic country is ceded to them. Well, in a further blow to Allah's African soldiers, they have now started fighting amongst themselves, which on Monday saw 17 of them go to that great mosque in the ground.

What is it about Muslims which results them being unable to live in peace with anyone, including themselves?
