Central African Republic — two years on from the outbreak of the crisisCentral African Republic201519 photographs

It was in 2012 that the largely Muslim Seleka militia perpetrated an uprising in the Central African Republic, overthrowing President François Bozize and giving rise to a wave of crimes and persecution against the Christian community. Within the non-Islamic communities, this led to the formation of Anti-Balaka armed militia groups who took revenge by massacring Islamic civilians. Despite the presence of three international missions — Eufor-Rca, Sangaris and Minusca — religious hatred continues to cause bloodshed. The Anti-Balaka groups control the West, including the capital Bangui where the Muslim community is confined to ghettoes; the East is held by former Seleka rebels. The government has proved incapable of overcoming the crisis, and the population is at the mercy of the armed factions.
