Seleka Declares Northern CAR Independence

A few weeks after mid-July agreement to end hostilities, a leader of the Central African Republic Seleka rebels has declared an independent state in the northeastern region of the country, in what he described as a response to the genocide perpetrated against Muslims at the hands of Christian militias..

"A free, independent secular state has been established in the northeastern region of CAR," Noureddine Adam, the deputy head of the militia, said in a statement cited by Anadolu Agency on Sunday, August 17.

According to Adam, the new “state” lies some 800 kilometers north of CAR capital Bangui.

It would be led by former CAR president Michel Djotodia, a Muslim.

Adam also announced the creation of an interim government under Djotodia in which he would serve as minister of state for defense and national security.

He said the secession move came in response to what he described as "planned genocide" and "hostage-taking" of Muslims; the destruction of mosques; and the desecration of Qur’an by Christian militias, including the anti-balaka.

Earlier in August, Mahamat Kamoun was appointed as a Muslim Prime Minister for the first time since CAR's independence from France in 1960 as a first step towards forming a more inclusive government.

The appointment of the Muslim PM, by the interim Christian president Catherine Samba Panza, came a month after signing ceasefire agreement between rival militants in the resources-rich country.

Choosing Kamoun as the first Muslim PM for CAR was rejected by Seleka rebels who said that he doesn't "represent" them.

Earlier in January, Catherine Samba-Panza, the mayor of Bangui, was sworn in as CAR's first female president.
