Devout Muslim fighters attack Central African villages, killing at least 11

AFRICA: THE RISE OF ISLAM

For quite some time, I have been reporting on the jihad in Central African Republic (CAR). It is bloody, savage ….. unimaginable. Mass slaughter, Muslims beheading children, pastors slaughtered, Bible translators killed, thousands of Christians fled after Muslims hunted them door-to-door looking for enemies of “Allah”….. scores of media blacklisted stories.

This story, true to form for the enemedia, focuses on Muslims who have been attacked. But no Muslims would have been attacked if they hadn’t attacked Christians first. The Christians in the CAR fought back. For the enemedia, that is an unpardonable sin.

“Villager: Muslim fighters attack Central African villages, killing at least 11,” by Hippolyte Marboua, Associated Press, March 22, 2015:

BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — A group of heavily armed Muslims attacked several villages in Central African Republic over the weekend, killing at least 11 people, a villager said Sunday.

Central African Republic has been rocked by sectarian violence since 2013. That year, mostly Muslim Seleka rebels seized power, and their brutal rule led to the rise of Christian militias that unleashed a wave of violence against Muslims. U.N. and French troops are now trying to stabilize the country. Targeted attacks against Muslims are subsiding, although tensions remain.

As calm returns, Muslims who fled the attacks have begun to trickle home, and 10 mosques have reopened in the capital, Bangui, in recent weeks.

The mosques that have reopened are in heavily Muslim neighborhoods and so escaped destruction, according to Aliou Ousseini, one of the country’s most influential imams. Some of them sustained heavy gunfire, but are still standing. Others simply need a lick of paint after months of neglect, he said.

But the vast majority of the country’s mosques — 417 out of 436 — were destroyed in the violence between Christians and Muslims, Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said recently.

The violence that broke out this weekend began when Muslim herders noticed that their cattle had been stolen, said Auguste Magoussou, a resident of one of the villages in the central part of the country. In retaliation, they ransacked villages, with the help of fighters from the country’s Muslim rebels, he said. He said he saw 11 people killed.
