CAR: politics not faith
World Watch Monitor
The three top faith leaders of the Central African Republic, who have won international recognition for efforts to end its conflict, pledged in late August to work with Russians in order to foster reconciliation in CAR.
At a meeting organised by Valery Zakharov, a Russian diplomat and security advisor to CAR’s President, the men, one from the CAR Evangelical Alliance, another from the Catholic Church and an Imam, reiterated that CAR’s crisis is not primarily an interfaith clash, but is a political power struggle.
