This weekend the International Committee of the Red Cross claims that 5o people have been killed in sectarian violence in northwest Central African Republic. A group called 'Save the Children' say most of the victims are Muslims and at least 12 of them are children. This all started early 2012 when Seleka fighters overthrew Francois Bozize and put Michel Djoldio into power. To help calm things down France has sent 1,600 troops to join forces with 4,000 African Union Peacekeepers.
All I have to say is I wish the worlds violence would end. Of course its a childish thing to say but its still something I like to think about. This is no different from any other act of violence, its just as bad, just as cruel, and it has the same outcomes as the rest. All we can do is hope and pray the world will calm down in time.

It's not really a childish thing to say, because people in Central African Republic are all probably thinking the same thing. It's hard to have an opinion on this sort of thing, since their are so many different sides and deep rooted conflicts, and there really isn't much we can do except wait, because it will be a long time before this is over, and then another conflict would have arisen! But I guess we have to live with it.
