"Abuses by Seleka forces had led to the creation of Christian self-defence militia and killings that evoked memories of Rwanda's genocide 20 years ago."

I take it that the genocide being the extermination of a Muslim minority, that's OK with you.

For K A of H two wrongs make a right as long as his preferred side is winning.

The extermination of a minority cannot even in the loosest sense be described as self defence and is indefensible no matter who is winning. The Christians involved are no better than those who attacked them.

IMO, had it not been for the cannibalism, the western press would have played this down and I believe that there are many more cases we just don't hear about.
