Central African Republic: Muslims of Sibut return home years after brutal war

Shafaqna English- Muslims of the city of Sibut in the Central African Republic (CAR) return home years after the brutal war.

The Islamic call to prayer echoes once again across Sibut’s rooftops — a sign that peaceful coexistence has returned to the town in the mostly Christian Central African Republic (CAR) after years of civil war.

The conflict emptied the thriving market town around three hours’ drive north of the capital Bangui of many of its Muslim residents.

They fled into exile when heavy fighting broke out between Muslim factions and Christian militias more than a decade ago.

But peace has gradually brought people like Muslim trader Idriss Elder back to Sibut.
