Spectre of lynching haunts Central Africa
AFP By Patrick Fort and Michel Cariou
 
Bangui (Central African Republic) (AFP) - The father of a slain French 
soldier has described how disarmed Muslim fighters in the Central 
African Republic were lynched by a Christian mob in harrowing testimony 
that raised the spectre of a new wave of sectarian killing in the 
troubled state.
 
"To not intervene would be to stand idly by and count the dead," 
Hollande told ministers after returning from a brief stopover in the CAR 
on Tuesday, his spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said.
 
Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian admitted however that the mission 
represented a much more difficult task than France's military 
intervention against Islamist rebels in Mali earlier this year.
 
And those remarks were borne out by Philippe Vokaer's account of his 
final contact with his 23-year-old son Nicolas, one of two French 
paratroopers killed in a firefight while on a night patrol in the 
capital Bangui on Monday.
 
"We had a text exchange the same evening," Vokaer senior told French 
daily Le Parisien. "He had witnessed some atrocious scenes. As soon as 
the French soldiers disarmed the Muslim militia, they saw them being 
lynched by a Christian mob in the middle of the street. There was 
nothing the army could do to stop it."

In Bangui, a humanitarian aid worker who did not want to be identified, 
told AFP he feared mass reprisals against members of the country's 
Muslim minority, who are associated with the Seleka coalition behind the 
March coup which plunged the CAR into anarchic terror.
 
"What we are faced with now is the spectre of a vicious spiral of 
reprisals with the village self-defence militias organising 'return 
matches' against Seleka and the Seleka themselves going on a killing 
spree as they retreat to their strongholds in the north," he said.
 
'If the French stay, it will be genocide'
 
One former Seleka rebel, Adam Ali Mahamat, warned that "if the French 
stay, it will be genocide".
 
"France is making a big mistake. They say they're here to protect 
civilians. But a disarmed Seleka member becomes a civilian... Why do 
they not protect them? It's unfair," he said in Bangui.
 
"The French army has taken the side of the Christians and is leaving the 
Muslims behind."
 
Despite those fears, the situation in Bangui, where hundreds were 
slaughtered with clubs and machetes last week, was calm on Wednesday 
with residents suggesting that fear levels were subsiding following the 
weekend deployment of 1,600 French troops.
 
"Around me this morning people are going out and about in large 
numbers," said a resident of the Ben Zvi neighbourhood.
 
Several taxis started plying their trade again, as French combat 
helicopters flew overhead.
 
The situation was in sharp contrast to Monday and Tuesday, when 
rampaging locals pillaged shops owned by Muslims. The scale of any 
violence outside Bangui remains unclear.
 
 
French officers say the vast majority of the armed groups who had 
brought terror to Bangui were disarmed within 24 hours of the 
intervention force arriving to back up African troops in the 
2,500-strong MISCA force that has been in the country for some time but 
had proved incapable of preventing the recent violence.
 
Having initially presented operation Sangaris as essentially a 
humanitarian mission, French officials have in recent days expanded its 
goals to disarming all armed groups in the country and creating the 
conditions for free and fair elections.
 
Le Drian acknowledged that the chaotic situation in the CAR made the 
French operation there more complex than the much bigger intervention in 
Mali, where France deployed 4,000 troops from January to try and break 
the backbone of armed Islamist groups who had taken control of much of 
the north of the country.
 
The defence minister reiterated that France would be seeking to hand 
over responsibility for the CAR peace enforcement mission to an African 
force as soon as it could.
 
He also rebuffed criticism in France that the Socialist government 
should have done more to secure concrete international support for the 
military action. He said Britain, Belgium, Denmark and Poland had all 
promised practical help.
 
US President Barack Obama on Tuesday authorised the release of $60 
million in military aid to the CAR, some of which is expected to help 
meet France's costs.
 
Hollande on Tuesday met in Bangui with interim authorities including 
Michel Djotodia, the interim president who led the so-called Seleka 
rebellion that began 12 months ago.
 
"He reminded them of the importance for France of a quick political 
transition," Vallaud-Belkacem said.
 
Djotodia's Seleka rebels captured Bangui and ousted president Francois 
Bozize in March.
 
Djotodia became the country's first Muslim president, but while some 
Seleka members retained their discipline, others became involved in a 
spree of killing, raping and looting which sparked the creation of 
Christian vigilante groups in response.

eh, come ci tengono a salvare le vite in Africa i francesi, nessuno al mondo, davvero. Del resto anche noi non si andò in Etiopia a liberare la  
"Moretta che sei schiava fra le schiave"? Mavafammocc...

 totalitario all'altro, come concezione di vita.
 
l'ho citata deliberatamente, per far vedere come il "compagno" Namib è sempre pronto a suonare il tamburo della guerra imperialista in Africa. Però siccome se l'imperialismo è italiano allora è  fascista, lui batte solo i tamburi stranieri. Echissenefrega se l'imperialismo è una merda anche in francese,  i negri se lo devono prendere e basta.

massì compagno, è sempre la stessa storia, dobbiamo intervenire per evitare un massacro (fatto con armi generosamente fornite da noi, ma che importa?). Il white man buren ripittato di umanitarismo.
Poi ammazziamo 100 volte tanto, ma quello che conta sono le buone intenzioni.

 spirito di servizio 
 
lo stesso spirito di servizio del prete pedofilo che aiuta le povere mamme che devono lavorare tutto il giorno per sbarcare il lunario offrendosi di badare ai loro pargoli in oratorio. Che bambini fortunati, che hanno qualcuno che si occupa di loro senza chiedere niente in cambio, eh, Cirry?

Bombacci, visto che sei un convinto sostenitore della autodeterminazione dei popoli, parlaci dell'intervento russo in Afghanistan.

 mass� compagno, � sempre la stessa storia, dobbiamo intervenire per evitare un massacro
 
E dove avrei espresso questo parere?
