The conflict in the Central African Republic has become known as a forgotten crisis. There has been wave after wave of attacks with the largely Christian anti-balaka militia attacking the mainly Muslim Seleka rebels and vice-versa. There have been horrific scenes of violence, vicious killings, looting and retaliatory attacks happening with alarming regularity. The narrative in the mainstream coverage of the crisis has been that this is a religious conflict - but according to Caesar Nyeko Poblicks, Projects Manager for East and Central Africa at Conciliation Resources, this is a worrying oversimplification. He argues that while the violence in CAR has taken place along religious lines, the causes and motivations behind it are political and economic and not based on religion at all. He also says the oversimplification of the conflict could have terrible consequences. Find out why here.
