إفريقيا الوسطى: الأمم المتحدة تتهم فرنسا بدعم النصارى المسلحين ضد المسلمين العزل

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

في تقريرها المتعلق بالمذابح التي يتعرض لها المسلمون بجمهورية "إفريقيا الوسطى" - اتهمت الأمم المتحدة "فرنسا" بدعم الميلشيات النصرانية المسلحة ضد المسلمين العُزَّل، وذلك بعد تجريد بعضهم من السلاح المستخدم للدفاع عن النفس؛ مما أتاح للنصارى وحلفائهم الانقضاض على الأُسَر المسلمة بالأسلحة.

وقد حذر ممثلو الأمم المتحدة ومبعوثوها من إمكانية تفاقم الأزمة بشكل غير مسبوق، وخاصة بعد تدمير منازلهم ومساجدهم، ومدارسهم ومؤسساتهم بشكل عام.

وإضافة إلى هذا حذرت مؤسسة "الفيلق الطبي الدولي" من خطورة الوضع الطبي، خاصةً مع إصابة 39% من اللاجئين بالملاريا، و20% بالأمراض التنفسية، و18% بالإسهال، وغير ذلك من الأمراض الخطيرة.

وعلى الرغم من خطورة الموقف، فإنه من المتوقع أن يعقد مجلس حقوق الإنسان بالأمم المتحدة جلسة طارئة يوم 21 يناير الجاري للبحث عن حلول للأزمة؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Reprisal Attacks Target CAR Muslims

Reporting mass-killing in the Central African Republic, the United Nations has accused French “peacekeepers” of leaving unarmed Muslim families to face death at the hands of Christian militias in the war-torn country.

"They were obviously trying to disarm armed men, which was a good thing,” UN human rights spokesman, Rupert Colville, was quoted by IB Times on Wednesday, January 15.

“There were anti-balaka elements or even civilians who took advantage of that to attack and kill people who had been disarmed, or their dependants. [...] It wasn't foreseen but I believe the tactics have changed.”

Senior UN envoy John Ging has warned against the possibility of further violence as the country is still in a "mega-crisis".

"Everything has been lost," Ging told the BBC.

"Homes have been destroyed, facilities, schools and medical centres completely ransacked and destroyed [along with] water wells."

Ging added that more than a million people have fled their home in CAR.

"And with that displacement, of course, you have all the humanitarian needs: shelter, food, medical care and so on," he said.

"Our great fear is that it will deteriorate and spiral out of control. Although for a million people it's already out of control."

Similar fears were expressed by NGO International Medical Corps spokesman Josh Harris.

"The most common conditions among refugees are malaria (39%), acute respiratory infections (20%) and diarrhoeal disease (18%)," Harris told IBTimes UK.

Former CAR president Michel Djotodia resigned after he faced pressure to step down, being considered by many unable to halt the bloodshed.

Djotodia, CAR's first Muslim leader, became president after a coup d'état staged by the Muslim Seleka group last March.

The UN warned that the CAR conflict could end in genocide and some 2.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.

Amnesty International called for international intervention as crimes against humanity including extrajudicial executions and mutilations of bodies are being committed throughout the country.

Discussing the ongoing violence in CAR, UN Human Rights Council is expected to hold an emergency session next Monday, January 21 in a bid to offer solutions to the conflict.

The country of nearly five million people is mostly Christian, with about 15 percent Muslims who are concentrated in the north.
