Is Nigeria Going The Way Of Central African Republic? by Bukky244: 8:27am On Jan 17, 2020 |
In March 2013, the Séléka (Fulani Herdsmen), a mostly Muslim rebel alliance, rose up and overthrew the corrupt government of François Bozizé, while bringing terror and chaos across the country - pillaging, killing and raping with impunity. In response, mostly Christian self-defense forces, called the anti-balaka, formed to defend CAR against Séléka attacks. Clashes grew more frequent throughout 2013 as the Séléka grew more ruthless. In December 2013, French and African troops went in to disarm the Séléka and staunch the bloodshed. The anti-balaka, seizing on a weakened Séléka, then went on the offensive. CAR had no real history of religious violence, and the current conflict is not based on any religious ideology. The fighting, however, turned increasingly sectarian in the fall of 2013, with revenge killings becoming the norm. And as the Séléka's power waned, the anti-balaka fed their need for revenge by brutalizing Muslim civilians. "Too few peacekeepers were deployed too late; the challenge of disarming the Séléka, containing the anti-balaka, and protecting the Muslim minority was underestimated," Human Rights Watch said in a recent statement. The bloodshed has not stopped. The UN is still debating whether or not to send peacekeepers. Even if a peacekeeping operation is approved, it will take six months for troops to be assembled.

Major Gen Buhari is playing Djotodia of CAR. Let him import all the Fulanis in Africa into Nigeria. The Anti-Balaka did not have sophisticated weapons, but they successfully defended their lands and their people. 2 Likes |

I have always maintained that the Fulani will regret having Buhari as President because their agenda and excesses were exposed by the goat in Aso Rock. At best Nigeria will split up and the Fulani will be relegated to the north were the majority Awusa will drive them out . 3 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria is so much like CAR except fot the fact that the muslims have the defence structure in their pockets and have used decades of military rule to strengthen their hold on the nation. 1 Like |
