Sectarian violence in the region and a growing religious war raise concerns amongst some that the U.N. and globalist factions are once again up to no good.
KABO, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC – People gather on the grounds of a hospital where relatives are being treated December 17, 2007 in Kabo in the northern Central African Republic. Central African Republic (CAR) is one of the world?s poorest and most neglected countries with an average life expectancy of 39 years. Decades of fighting various rebel factions in the north of the country have resulted in hundreds of deaths and over 200,000 internally displaced people. Outside of the capital Bangui there is no electricity or paved roads and banditry is extensive. (2007) (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC (INTELLIHUB) — The poverty-stricken nation is in turmoil and sectarian violence continues leading to what some say could be a Christian vs. Muslim war after “Northern Seleka rebels seized the capital, Bangui, and ousted President Francois Bozize in March.”[1]
Disgustingly enough, recent reports circulating out of the United Nations (U.N.) have warned of coming genocide in the region. NPR.org reported, “What started out as a rebellion in the north part of this country appears like it could split the nation along sectarian lines, pitting Christians against Muslims. And to learn more about this, we turn to Kristen van Schie of South Africa’s Star newspaper. She just returned to South Africa from the Central African Republic where she was doing some reporting. Kristen, good morning.”[2]
It has been reported that people are trying to get out of the area, retreating into refugee camps and into the woods to escape the violence.
“The Muslim population is the majority in the CAR”, said to Kristin Van Schie from South Africa’s Star Newspaper in an NPR interview. Schie went on to say, “What really sticks with you is the complete lack of government outside of the capital city. I mean, when you’re in Bangui itself, it seems secure. I mean, there are soldiers everywhere. But you don’t get a feeling as if you’re in danger. It’s when you’re outside of the city that it just feels as if any sense of government has ceased to exist. You feel as if you are sort of in a no-man’s land.
You see these villages that have been completely deserted and burnt to the ground. You’re seeing people living in refugee camps right outside of churches. And you’re seeing emptiness. People have just fled into the bush to get away from this conflict.”[2] However, some wonder what might be the actual plan of the African Union and what part the U.N. Security Council plays into all of this as the nation is vastly rich in minerals.
With a population of 4.6 million people the “Central African Republic is rich in gold, diamonds and uranium, but decades of instability and the spillover from conflicts in its larger neighbors have left the country mired in cycles of crises.
The African Union plans to deploy a 3,600-member peacekeeping mission, known as MISCA, in the country. It would incorporate a regional force of 1,100 soldiers already on the ground and is unlikely to be operational before 2014.
The 15-member U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution on Oct. 10 asking U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to submit a report within 30 days to outline possible international support to a planned African Union peacekeeping mission.”[1]
France is expected to jump into the mix as well, providing “logistical support and increase its troop numbers to between 700 and 1,200 if needed.”[2]
