In Zawara, the Archbishop of Bangui, Monseignor DieudonnŽ Nzapalainga, offers blessings to anti-Balaka militiamen. The Archbishop has called on the anti-Balakas to lay down their weapons and abandon violence, but many of them continue to claim they ÒfreedÓ the country and now protect it, a stance that contributes to ongoing tension in many parts of CAR.

Damascus, Syria.

Central African Republic

Displaced Muslims listen to a speech from the Minister of Reconciliation and the Imam after Friday prayers in the main mosque of the Muslim enclave of PK5 where about 700 Muslims are camping out in the yard of the mosque. What began as a rebellion by mainly Muslim Seleka fighters and the toppling of the government of CAR in March 2013 later developed into a sectarian war between Christian Anti-Balaka militias and ex Seleka who failed to disband after the coup.

A miner in the Koro diamond mine. The Kimberley Process, an international initiative that regulates the diamond industry, agreed to partially lift the ban on diamonds from the west of the country, in areas not controlled by ex- Seleka rebels, if certain terms and conditions were met. This would pave the way for CAR to resume some export of rough diamonds. So far the requirements have not been met and the export ban is still in place for the whole country.

Central African Republic, Near Grimari

Relatives mourn the death of two men and one woman, murdered by Seleka fighters shortly before. They had accused them of being Antibalakas. The woman was killed as 'collateral damage' according to a Seleka colonel who admitted the killing. The Seleka are a predominantly Muslim militia which overthrew the government of the Central Africa Republic in March 2013. The coup has since led to Seleka militia fighting against predominantly Christian Anti-Balaka fighters. Grimari has been under attack from Antibalakas for two days since it is the gateway to the Ouaka region which is still controlled by Seleka fighters whose general Mahamat Darrassa is a conciliatory figure, having dislodged other Seleka units who were wreaking havoc among local communities. French peacekeepers trust Darassa, viewing him as the only reliable safeguard against sectarian violence in the Ouaka region.

Since October 2016, about 700,000 Rohingya Muslims had crossed the border from Myanmar into Bangladesh fleeing a campaign of terror, in what the United Nations human rights chief has called Òa textbook example of ethnic cleansing.Ó The conflict erupted after a Rohingya militant group attacked army security posts in the countryÕs west coast state of Rakhine. The Rohingya, often called the most persecuted minority in the world, have been facing discrimination in Myanmar for decades.
