Central African Republic Conflict

                   

                   Beginning in 2012, the Central African Republic Conflict started out as a problem with the Seleka rebel group. This one of many rebel groups in Africa, accused the government of failing to abide by peace laws that were settled in both 2007 and 2011. So instead of trying to make meetings and sort things out in a civil way, Seleka started capturing many large towns and villages. After a while, surrounding places had began to become fed up with their people being murdered, imprisoned, and turned into slaves. Some of the first places that sent troops to fight off the rebels were countries such as Chad and 
Angola.

                  A year had passed and the African government had seemed to have no more power over the rebels than when they just started. Countless shootings, human trafficking, and the production of child armies began to boom more and more as time went on. Skip to present day, 2014. As the media looks at Africa, they see a country where human rights are being abused, religious groups such as Muslims are being targeted with continuous massacres and even outbreaks of cannibalistic actions. All of this has lead to many Muslims fleeing the country for their lives. Not stopping and looking back at war-torn Africa.
