It was only a few days ago that a story broke out of a citizen in the CAR region who was stabbed, shot, burned, and finally lynched in an act of terrorism by the countries own military police. Now the violence has seemed to spread and take root into the very country and multitudes of people are suffering...considerably the Muslim populace. CAR is made up of a vast number of Christians (50%), with muslims rounding up as the minority (13%). Due to the recent attacks by Seleka members and Anti-Balaka rebels the country is apparently under a siege by its own people. Steadily the countries muslim populace have started to evacuate, 30'000 making it to chad and 10'000 to the neighboring Cameroon. Though this is a dark time for the country apparently there is some light as there are multiple reports of Christians helping some of the muslim families escape into those other countries.
