Hundreds of inmates at a prison in the Central African Republic have escaped as a wave of violence left dozens dead.
After a Muslim taxi driver was killed, clashes erupted on Saturday between Christian militia and Muslim groups.
Members of a Christian militia known as the anti-Balaka attacked the prison on Monday, freeing hundreds of soldiers and militiamen.
The CAR has been wracked by violence since a mainly Muslim rebel group, the Seleka, seized power in March 2013.
The Seleka group was then ousted, sparking a wave of violent reprisals against the Muslim population, thousands of whom fled their homes.

This is the more reason why Zambia as a country must continue to be a christian nation. Tell me what, if only CAR was declared a christian or muslim nation then there would’nt be such room for sectarian violence whereby groups of people tries to out-do each other.

Mzee Hekima i disagree with you that Africa is a cursed continent. Africa is blessed in Jesus’ name coz there is no continent created by God which He said was cursed, everything He created was good in His eyes
