| Muslims in CAR seek to establish new state |
| 2014-04-27 |
| [Iran Press TV] Moslem residents of the Central African Republic (CAR) have advocated calls for the establishment of a new state to be located in the north of the country. Many in the CAR Moslem community have stated that partition is the best and simplest solution to the threat of violence from Christian forces of Evil in the country's south. Young Moslems in the town of Bambari said they are using their mobile phones to circulate a design for a national flag of what they call the Republic of Northern Central Africa. "The partition itself has already been done. Now there only remains the declaration of independence," said Abdel Nasser Mahamat Youssouf, member of a youth group lobbying for the secession of the north. The Central African Republic plunged into a sectarian war following a coup last year. The violence has left thousands of people dead and over a million displaced. The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... has described the displacement of the Moslems of the CAR as ethnic-religious cleansing. Human rights organizations have also warned of religious cleansing of Moslems in the Central African Republic. |

| #2 Republic of Northern Central Africa This would be a terrible mistake. Go with the obvious and save big bucks by not having to change flags and stationery later: Central African Islamic Republic. |
