It seems there is no peace in Central African Republic. After a period of relative calm, new episodes of sectarian violence erupted in Bangui in which about 30 people died and nearly 100 got wounded. On Saturday, the recovery of a dead body of a Muslim man near a mosque triggered a heavy reprisal against a “Christian neighborhood” and an inevitable Anti-Balaka retaliation.

Using Marc Vandenberghe’s words (UN ad interim humanitarian coordinator in CAR), what happened is"a big step backwards" (AP) threatening the already fragile truce signed in May. Moreover, the upcoming elections – which are to be held on October 18 – are likely to cause further violence between Séléka and Anti-balaka militias.
