إفريقيا الوسطى: مذابح المسلمين تؤذن بأزمة واسعة في المنطقة

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

حذَّرت الأمم المتحدة من أن المذابح التي يتعرض لها المسلمون بـ"إفريقيا الوسطى" على أيدي المليشيات النصرانية المسلحة، قد تؤدي لتوسعة نطاق الصراع إلى خارج الدولة، خاصة مع عدم توفر الحماية للمسلمين المختبئين بالمعسكرات الحدودية، وذلك وفقًا لتصريحات مفوضية اللاجئين التابعة للأمم المتحدة.

وقد ذكر البيان عددًا من المناطق التي يُخشى على الفارين إليها، وطالب العناصر المسلحة بوقف العنف ضد المدنيين العزَّل، وأكد عجز الحلول الإنسانية عن وضع نهاية للأزمة المتفاقمة بالبلد الغني بالمعادن، مطالبًا بزيادة عدد القوات الدولية؛ حيث يتزامن ذلك مع موافقة البرلمان الفرنسي على بقاء القوات الفرنسية في البلاد التي كانت مستعمرة فرنسية سابقة؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

CAR Exodus Threatens Regional Crisis: UN

The United Nations has warned that a widening conflict in Central African Republic might engulf the region, urging better security ties to protect almost 15,000 people, mostly Muslims, who are trapped in vulnerable camps and threatened by armed militias.

"These populations are at very high risk of attack and urgently need better security,” Adrian Edwards, UN High Commissioner for Refugees spokesperson, said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net.

“Although violence has hit all communities in CAR, most of the people who are trapped are Muslims under threat from anti-Balaka militiamen.”

Issued on Tuesday, February 25, the UNHCR’s report revealed that the most vulnerable CAR civilians, at least 15,000 people, have been internally displaced to 18 locations in north-west and south-west CAR.

"Areas we are particularly worried about include the PK12 neighborhood in Bangui and the towns of Boda, Boar and Bossangoa,” Edwards was quoted by Reuters during Tuesday's press briefing in Geneva.

The report added that the UN commissioner has been working with partners to provide humanitarian assistance and ensure the security of the displaced civilians.

The UNHCR has called on rivals to end the escalating violence, urging an increase of international peacekeeping troops in the mineral-rich country.

“Humanitarian efforts alone cannot be sufficient solution to the crisis,” Edwards argued.

“We are appealing again to all armed elements to stop indiscriminate attacks against civilians.

"We are also calling for the deployment of more international troops as their numbers are far too low considering the size of the country and the scope of the crisis,” Edwards added.

The UNHCR report coincided with the approval of France's parliament to extend its military mission in the former French colony.
