At least 75 dead in northwest Central African Republic fighting: Military source

Source: AFP

BANGUI(Central African Republic): Almost 75 people, mainly civilians, have been killed in several days of fighting between rival factions in the Central African Republic, an African military source said today.

The clashes erupted on Thursday in the Mala region around 200 kilometres north of the capital Bangui between Seleka rebels and the Christian vigilante groups known as the anti-Balaka, an official from the African peacekeeping force MISCA told AFP.

People fleeing the fighting were forced to find refuge in neighbouring areas, according to the official.

Residents told AFP by phone that Seleka fighters still occupied Mala and were committing various atrocities.

It should be mentioned that Putin is involved.

Otherwise our resident foreign policy experts might overlook this important story.

Not sure if you saw the slide show but the massacres are happening literally in the face of NATO peacekeepers.
