[wanabidii] [NAI Forum] Understanding the violent conflict in CAR

NAI Forum has published a new article:

'Understanding the violent conflict in CAR'
by Gabriella Ingerstad

Summary:

Since the Séléka rebels took power in the CAR in early 2013, violence has
escalated in the country. More than one million people have been forced to flee
and thousands have been killed.

The conflict has resulted in polarisation of Christians and Muslims, but calling
the conflict religious or ethnic is simplistic and does little to help
understand the causes of the violence.

Instability has reigned in CAR for a long time and armed groups challenging the
government is nothing new, although previous violence never reached the levels
seen over the past year.

To re-establish security, protect civilians and deliver humanitarian assistance
must be a priority in the short term. There are some lessons to be learned from
previous peace-building attempts in CAR.
