Central African Republic Capital Under Lockdown

The capital of the Central African Republic is under a night-time curfew after days of intense fighting between Christian and Muslim groups.

Fierce clashes between the two groups erupted after the killing of a Muslim taxi driver in Bangui on Saturday.

At least 36 people have died in the violence, and the UN says it has forced nearly 30,000 people to flee.

A UN spokesman said the country may be returning to a state of violence unseen since conflict erupted two years ago.

“We fear that the violence we’re seeing in Bangui is a return to the dark days of late 2013 and 2014, when thousands were killed and tens of thousands had to flee their homes,” said Leo Hobbs, a spokesman for the UN’s refugee agency.

    It baffles me as to why these groups of purported God fearing people fall to find a common solution to their differences based on true love as they continue preach the same. pliz just like you all believe, have great respect for life.
