<h1>Christian Militia Could Wipe Out Central African Republic's Muslim Population, Says Human Rights Group</h1>
<div class="entry-byline">By Morgan Lee</div>
<div class="entry-date">February 14, 2014 | 12:14 pm</div>
<br />
<p></p>
<div class="entry-content"><p id="docs-internal-guid-6ae273b4-3154-6c26-44c5-c5493c331e52" dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6ae273b4-3154-6c26-44c5-c5493c331e52" dir="ltr">Christian militia taking revenge on the Central African Republic's Muslim population could drive the entire Islamic group out of the country, a human rights group claimed earlier this week.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">The anti-balaka ("anti-machete") has increasingly fought back against the country's minority Muslim population since the Muslim Seleka rebel group antagonized the country's Christians.</p>
<div class="imageBox"><img class="imgPhoto" title="Militia fighters known as anti-balaka pose for a photograph in Mbakate village, Central African Republic on November 25, 2013." src="http://images.christianpost.com/full/69625/militia-fighters-known-as-anti-balaka-pose-for-a-photograph-in-mbakate-village-central-african-republic-on-november-25-2013.jpg" alt="Militia fighters known as anti-balaka pose for a photograph in Mbakate village, Central African Republic on November 25, 2013." width="100%"/>Militia fighters known as anti-balaka pose for a photograph in Mbakate village, Central African Republic on November 25, 2013.</div>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.hrw.org/node/123192">Human Rights Watch</a> employees in the Central African Republic have claimed to have witnessed anti-balaka forces cutting "the throats of Muslim civilians, publicly lynching, mutilating, and setting their bodies on fire." It also reported attacks where the groups had cut off body parts or hacked Muslims to death.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It pointed to Yaloké, which prior to the arrival of anti-balaka forces boasted an estimated Muslim population of 30,000 and eight mosques. Now, it is reported that the town has only one mosque and 500 Muslims. Many Muslim homes in the area were also looted by members of the Christian militia.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The report also listed four other former "Muslim strongholds" that were now totally devoid of residents and whose shops and business have been looted by anti-balaka forces.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Peter Bouckaert, Emergencies director at HRW, said there is a good chance that such terrors will drive out a Muslim population which has lived for hundreds of years in the region.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"At this rate, if the targeted violence continues, there will be no Muslims left in much of the Central African Republic. People whose families have peacefully lived in the country for centuries are being forced to leave, or are fleeing the very real threat of violence against them," he said in a statement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">HRW has said the type of language that the anti-balaka groups were using "suggests their intent is to eliminate Muslim residents from the Central African Republic." However, he added that so far the group has not used any religious language to try and justify its actions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Instead, they claim that they are responding to Seleka attacks that occurred after the group seized power in "March 2013, and carried out a campaign of executions, indiscriminate killings, village burnings, and rape that plunged the country into chaos and displaced nearly a quarter of the country's majority Christian population."</p>
<p dir="ltr">Bouckaert said that regardless of motive, the anti-balaka were finding success at removing their former aggressors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"Whether the anti-balaka leaders are pursuing a deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing or exacting abusive collective punishment against the Muslim population, the end result is clear: the disappearance of longstanding Muslim communities," Bouckaert said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Not all Christians have aligned themselves with the anti-balaka.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Father Fagba and his congregation in the town of Boali have opened the doors of their church as a sanctuary to hundreds of desperate Muslims.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Roughly 650 Muslims arrived seeking shelter almost a month ago and have not left — convinced that they will be killed if they step beyond the church grounds.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fagba told the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-26169941?ocid=socialflow_twitter">BBC</a> that the community offered little support for him in his decision to harbor Muslims.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"When I did this, nobody in the community understood me. They attacked and threatened me," he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Part of their grudge may be because some of the people Fagba is harboring are only several months removed from terrorizing the country's Christian population.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"I've spoken to those who have done bad things. But I have not mentioned their deeds," he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"When I talk to them it's a call for them to change their lives and their behaviour," he added.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fagba said that it was vital that Christians live out their beliefs in the midst of the violence and terror.</p>
<p>"Now is the time for men of good will to stand up and prove the strength and quality of their faith," said Fagba.</p>
<p>The Central African Republic has a population of 4.5 million. Of that, 50 percent of the country is Christian, 15 percent Muslim and those with indigenous beliefs make up 35 percent.</p>

<p>There are accounts of the 2001 Bradford riot, where hindus/sikhs say that not only the property/businesses of the indigenous population were attack and torched, but also properties belonging to hindus/sikhs. The reports say that muslims went through beforehand, marking out businesses which were not run by muslims. I will see if I can find the reports.</p>

<p class="intro">Thousands of Muslims have fled the capital of the Central African Republic, fearing for their lives as "horrific" sectarian violence has spread.</p>
<p>Christians lined the streets to cheer as the Muslims left, protected by troops from neighbouring Chad. </p>
<p>One man who fell from an overloaded lorry was brutally killed by the crowds.</p>
<p>"He didn't even have the time to fall - he landed into the hands of the angry mob who then lynched him at the scene," said Armando Yanguendji, a resident of the Gobongo district of Bangui.</p>
<p>Another vehicle only escaped attack when Burundian peacekeepers fired into the air to disperse the crowd.</p>
<p>Angry mobs have set fire to mosques and brutally killed anyone accused of collaborating with the Muslim government which took power last March but lost power some months later have been targeted.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, a person suspected of having helped last March's overthrow of President Francois Bozize was attacked for 15 minutes with knives, bricks and feet by soldiers just minutes after a ceremony attended by the interim president.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Uniformed soldiers then paraded his body through the streets before it was dismembered and set on fire.</p>
<p>Peter Bouckaert from Human Rights Watch said: "It really is a horrific situation. All over Bangui, entire Muslim neighbourhoods are being destroyed and emptied.</p>
<p>"Their buildings are being destroyed and being taken apart, brick by brick, roof by roof, to wipe out any sign of their once existence in this country."</p>
<p> The International Criminal Court in The Hague has opened an initial investigation into war crimes in the country.</p>
<p>"My office has reviewed many reports detailing acts of extreme brutality ... and allegations of serious crimes being committed," Fatou Bensouda said in a statement.</p>
<p>An alliance of Muslim rebel groups from the north joined up to oust the president from power early in 2012, but their grievances were political and economic not religious.</p>
<p>The rebels known as Seleka quickly became despised by Christians in the capital after some of the fighters went on looting sprees, raping and killing civilians at random.</p>
<p>An armed Christian movement known as the anti-Balaka (anti-machete), aided by loyalists of President Bozize, began retaliating several months later.</p>
<p>Christian fighters attempted to overthrow the Muslim rebel government in early December, leading to bloodshed that left more than 1,000 people dead in a few days.</p>
<p>Muslim rebel leader Michel Djotodia who took power last March has stepped aside, and the country is currently being led by former Bangui mayor Catherine Samba-Panza as interim president.</p>
