Background on the crisis The president of the Central African
Republic (CAR), François Bozize, was ousted by Seleka rebels
on 24 March 2013, plunging CAR into a political and humanitarian
crisis. On 13 April 2013, the leader of the former rebels, Michel
Djotodia, was installed as president of CAR by the Conseil national
de la transition (CNT) while exactions throughout the whole country
intensified, including killings, rape and looting. Self-defense
groups and militias, named Anti-balaka, opposed the so-called
uncontrollable ex-Seleka elements, targeting the Muslim population
suspected of collaboration with the ex-Seleka. In July 2013, the
Force multinationale de l'AfriqueCentrale (FOMAC) and French
soldiers started disarming ex- Seleka groups. Following further
deterioration of the situation, the United Nations Security Council
passed 5 December resolution 2127 authorizing the intervention by
the African Union peacekeeping mission Missioninternationale de
soutien à la Centrafrique sous conduiteafricaine (MISCA) and
France. Additional Chadian troops deployed to CAR 19 December 2013
as part of MISCA. Two days later, the Chadian Government started
the evacuations of its citizens by air and land. According to the
Chadian Government, over 300,000 Chadian national lived in CAR
before the beginning of the events. President Djotodia resigned 10
January 2014 facing pressure of regional leaders and the
international community.
