Abstract

Chapter Four Sub-Saharan Africa Central African Republic While still troubled by sporadic sec- Key statistics 2014 2015 tarian violence, Central African Conflict intensity: High Medium Republic was generally more peace- Fatalities: 6,000 500 ful in 2015 than in the preceding two New IDPs: 175,000 years of conflict. The country’s leaders New refugees: 165,000 made considerable progress in setting a timetable for presidential and par- liamentary elections in December, despite the fact that fighting periodically threatened the transitional process. Nonetheless, there remained many unre- solved issues between Muslim Séléka rebels and the predominantly Christian anti-balaka militias. Protests broke out in Bangui in early December, after the Constitutional Court rejected former president François Bozizé’s bid to run in the elections. Despite having been sanctioned by the United Nations for his role in the violence, Bozizé remained popular among the country’s Christians, and there were reports that he travelled freely in the region, undermining attempts to implement a transi- tion. The elections were also threatened by Nourredine Adam, who had been sanctioned by the UN as leader of former Séléka faction the Patriotic Front for CASPIAN TURKEY SEA Aleppo Chechnya SYRIA CYPRUS Dagestan South South Latakia Deir ez-Zor Ossetia Ossetia Nicosia Hama
