Description

In 2012, a wave of violence swept in the course of the Central African Republic as Seleka rebels clashed with anti-Balaka militias. Within the face of seemingly senseless bloodshed, journalists, politicians, and scholars struggled to account for the conflict’s origins. On this first comprehensive account of the violence, Louisa Lombard argues that the conflict used to be more than a straightforward spiritual clash between Christians and Muslims. As a substitute, she traces the roots of the conflict to fears of non secular lack of confidence and a social breakdown that drove inter-communal violence.
 
Placing the uprising within its broader social, cultural, and historical context , Lombard reveals the complicated roles played by marginalized rural youths, local political leaders, and the worldwide community in sustaining the conflict, and she offers an urgent corrective to our perceptions of this little-understood country, making a compelling case for international leaders to rethink their option to resolving the conflict.
