CAR cease-fire already shows signs of falling apart
On Monday 19 June, 13 of the 14 armed factions currently fighting in the Central African Republic’s ongoing civil war agreed to a ceasefire deal in Rome. The cease-fire, which had been mediated by the Catholic Sant’Egidio Community, a lay church affiliated with the Vatican, was considered an important step in restoring peace to the Central African Republic (CAR), although previous negotiations have not managed to stop fighting for any significant period of time.
