Nearly one million people homeless in Central African
Republic

According to Doctors Without Borders, "fighting, lynchings and violent
attacks remain a daily occurrence in Bangui,"
the capital of Central African
Republic (CAR), "where the situation appears to be out of control."
The number of people driven from their homes in Bangui alone was around 700,000 a week ago,
and is now close to one million. These are people who have fled their homes in
the sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians in Bangui alone. There do not seem to be figures
for the rest of the country. France
has deployed 1,600 peacekeeping troops to Bangui,
supplemented by about 6,000 African Union peacekeeping troops. C.A.R. is deep
into a generational Crisis era, so it's quite possible that these peacekeeping
troops will be unable to keep the peace, and that C.A.R. will repeat the genocidal bloodletting of Rwanda
in 1994. Doctors Without Borders and AFP
