Rival Militias Strike Peace Deal in Central African Republic

HeadlineMay 11, 2015

Rival militias in the Central African Republic have reached a peace deal with the government after two years of fighting. The country has faced a crisis since March 2013 when Muslim Séléka rebels seized power, sparking a backlash from Christian armed groups. Thousands have died, and nearly a million have been displaced. The peace accord calls on the 10 main militias to disarm, integrate into the army and potentially face charges of war crimes.
