法国军队正在深入中非共和国,努力恢复大屠杀后的秩序。部队已经抵达北部城镇博桑戈阿,这里已有成千上万人因民兵组织而寻求避难。Thomas Fessy报道。
Bossangoa is now clearly divided. Tens of thousands of Christians have sought refuge around the church while around 7,000 Muslims are stranded at a school located on the other side of the town. Not a soul is moving on the main thoroughfare between. Reprisal attacks continue. African peacekeepers have been holding out on their own so far but they are relieved to see the arrival of French troops here in Bossangoa and further military action is now crucial. Violence has taken a dangerous religious turn.
博桑戈阿目前已经分裂,成千上万名基督徒已在教堂周围寻求避难,大约7000名穆斯林滞留在该市另一端的一所学校里。中间的大街上没有一个人,报复性的袭击仍有发生。非洲维和人员仍在坚持抵制,但他们欣慰地看到法国军队抵达博桑戈阿,目前关键的是进一步的军事行动,暴力目前朝着宗教方面发展,这很危险。

There is no sea that can stop terrorism from getting across and so we stand together and this is what we’ve underlined with this big decision concerning security.”
