In the Central African Republic, protests, clashes, reprisal attacks and armed conflict were sparked recently by the killing of a Muslim taxi driver in Bangui. The root causes of the crisis in the CAR can be traced back to events following the overthrow of President Francois Bozize in March 2013. Sectarian violence has continued despite the presence of UN peacekeepers and French troops. At least 60 were killed in the latest violence and tens of thousands displaced from their homes. Why does the CAR continue to be engulfed in an uncontrollable spiral of violence? And is there a way out? RFI spoke to Central African Republic researcher Evan Cinq-Mars, Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect.
