CAR civil war horror
March 10, 2014 - Central African Republic: A young boy pushes his bike down the road between Bouar and Bossemptele where anti-balaka militia members were seen hunting down the herds of cattle belonging to the Muslim nomads known as Peuhls. Many of the cattle in one herd were slaughtered on the spot and people were carting off various parts of the cattle. As of the end of March, thousands of people are believed to have been killed, and 2.2 million, about half the population of CAR, need humanitarian aid as a result of the conflict that began in December 2012, when mainly Muslim Seleka rebels launched attacks. More than 650,000 people are still internally displaced, and over 290,000 have fled to neighboring countries in search of refuge from the conflict, which has taken on increasingly sectarian overtones as mainly Christian militias known as anti-Balaka (anti-machete) have taken up arms.
