CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC SIEZED BY Muslim Rebels – an urgent call for prayer for the church in Central African Republic By Elizabeth Kendal (Religious Liberty Prayer Bulletin) Special to ASSIST News Service AUSTRALIA (ANS) — As the rebel army, Seleka, advanced towards Bangui, the capital of Central African Republic (CAR), CAR President François Bozizé appealed to France (the colonial power) and the US for help. However, this was to no avail, even though French troops were already in the country. Desperate for support, Bozizé appealed to South African president Jacob Zuma, who did send troops. But on 23 March, after fierce fighting, Seleka defeated the South African Defence Force, paving the way for the Rebels to enter Bangui on Sunday 24 March unhindered. Seleka then embarked on a campaign of raping, killing, looting and pillaging. Micopax, the European Union-funded peace-keeping force in CAR, has made no effort to engage the Rebels. International Crisis Group (ICG) finds this ‘disturbing’ and wonders if Micopax has been instructed to stand aside. According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), ‘One of the first targets was the Bangui Cathedral, where Seleka Rebels entered the church, fired in the air, and robbed the worshippers.’ Something HRW and ICG both fail to mention is that whereas CAR is a French-speaking, mostly Christian country (76 percent Christian according to Operation World), the Rebels who have seized power are Arabic-spea ...

Another Afghanistan-Like Blowback in the Works Thousands of young jihadist men from European nations, including the UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, are said to be traveling to Syria to join the Islamist insurrection. The influx sets the stage for a bizarre showdown in which the United States, NATO and Arab monarchies are backing Sunni Islamist terrorists--so-called Rebels--including Al Qaeda members, supporters and sympathizers, against a mass-murdering despotism backed by nuclear arms-seekling, Shiite Islamist Iran and Russia. No wonder war-weary, economically hard-pressed Americans are turning inward. As the Israeli saying goes, Y esh gvul --Hebrew for There is a limit.
