CHRISTIAN FORCES HAVE DESTROYED ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MOSQUE IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

Almost all mosques destroyed in C African Republic conflict

Almost all of the 436 mosques in the Central African Republic have been destroyed by months of vicious fighting between Christians and Muslims, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said Tuesday, calling the devastation “kind of crazy, chilling.” 

Samantha Power spoke to reporters after a Security Council visit last week to the country. She expressed concern about an upcoming possible security vacuum as European Union and French forces pull out and a U.N. peacekeeping force is still not at full strength.

At least 5,000 people have been killed since Central African Republic exploded into unprecedented sectarian violence in December 2013. Nearly 1 million of the Texas-sized country’s 4.5 million residents have been displaced. Many of those who have fled are Muslim. 

Power said 417 of the country’s mosques have been destroyed. She visited the one remaining Muslim neighborhood in the capital, Bangui, and described the residents as “a terrified population.”

It's not reported here, but I think it goes without saying these attacks by Christians are in retaliation for ongoing Jihadist attacks against Christians.
