WAR IN CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

• Violence erupted in the Central African Republic in 2012 when the Seleka, a coalition of rebel groups, accused the government of failing to abide by peace agreements.

   

  In 2013, the mainly Muslim Seleka rebels ousted President Francois Bozize and forcibly seized power. A transitional government was then established and entrusted with restoring peace.

  
  

  Though the Seleka was formally disbanded, new rebel groups known as ex-Seleka continued committing violent acts. By the end of 2013 the crisis deepened when the mainly Christian anti-Balaka movement took up arms against Muslims in retaliation.
