Militias Kill Muslims Fleeing CAR

Running for their lives from war-torn Central African Republic, 22 unarmed Muslims, including three children, were killed in a grenades attack, highlighting United Nations warnings of a brewing genocide.

“It is a sign of the still fraught and highly dangerous situation in the Central African Republic that children and their families have been attacked and killed while trying to evacuate to safety,” Robert Lankenau, the director of Save the Children aid group, said in a statement cited by CNN on Saturday, January 18.

Armed militias have attacked a caravan transporting Muslim families evacuated from the strife-torn CAR, leaving at least three children among 19 adults killed, and more than 50 with serious injuries.

The injured were treated in a hospital in the northwestern town of Bouar.

The officials of the UK based aid group said that the fleeing Muslim families were evacuated from the village of Vakap, seeking refuge in Cameron.

“It's clear that this protection is not reaching children in more remote areas,” Lankenau added, AFP reported.

Lankenau urged a wider reach of the peacekeeping forces in CAR remote areas.

“We're continuing to call for this UN-mandated force to patrol the remotest regions where so much of the violence goes unseen, with more troops deployed if necessary,” he added.

Last week, the first findings of the UN investigation, based on 183 interviews, revealed that the conflict in Central African Republic has caused more than 1,000 deaths in attacks occurring last December 5, 6.

The French troops have been accused of turning deaf ears to atrocities against Muslims, watching Muslims killed in cold blood.
