Central African Republic: 'seeds of genocide' being sown, warns UN
Source: Guardian
Muslims in Central African Republic (CAR) are being "butchered like sheep'' by Christian militias, and the deployment of French troops has not improved their safety, according to witness accounts from refugees arriving on evacuation flights to Mali.
On Thursday, a UN official identified "the seeds of a genocide" in CAR, unless the international response to the crisis is ramped up.
As he stepped off a five-hour flight in the Malian capital, Bamako, refugee Hissène Ibrahim, 21, said: "I was scared. I saw people killed in front of me and cut up like animals. They cut the hand off the Muslim and put it in his mouth. In that environment you end up thinking that if I stay here I am going to go crazy and become like these people who kill people."
Ibrahim, a student, said he and some 600 other Malian refugees who arrived in Bamako on flights this week had managed to escape CAR, thanks to a military escort to the airport. "We had left our homes last month and had been sleeping at the Senegalese consulate in (the capital) Bangui. There is no way Muslims can go anywhere near the airport by themselves because there are only Christians there. If you go there you will be chopped up in bits."

Take a good look in the mirror Evangies - at what you have wrought: murderous genocide in THE NAME OF YOUR GOD.
Take a look in the mirror. Jesus weeps at what you have done.
