#1 Horrible. Simply horrible. Especially, as you can't blame it on white heterosexual males!

#2 From the NYT:

Chaos and sectarian killings have steadily spread throughout the Central African Republic since predominantly Muslim SelekaAlliancerebels ousted the Christian president, Francois Bozize, in March.

(The Muslim current ruler and former) Rebel leader Michel Djotodia (claims to have) lost control of his forces, which have carried out atrocities against Christians across the resource-rich, but unstable former French colony. Over time, Christian militias retaliated. Last week shootings, stabbings and lynchings spiraled across the country.

#3 Muslims are 15% of the population. Funny how no one has decried the ascension to power by a tiny minority of the population via armed revolution. I guess that's because the rulers are Sunni Muslims (rather than Alawites) and the oppressed are animists and Christians (rather than Sunni Muslims). Once again, the French have put their full support behind the minority Sunni Muslims just as they did in the Ivory Coast.
