According to French Embassy in the central African Republic capital Bangui nearly 400 were killed. The government of Central African Republic was overthrown in March 2013 by Seleka forces. Since then muslim armed groups are attacking and burning down christian villages killing and wounding large number of people. Hundred of thousands have fled their homes in fear.
On Friday 6th December, Seleka commander Colonel Saleh took his fighters to the catholic church camp in which were 35,000 displaced christians. His men fired into the crowded camp.
It was the worst violence the capital has seen since rebels toppled President Francois Bozize in March and installed their own chief Michel Djotodia as president - the first muslim leader of the majority christian country. Most of the corpse are still laying uncollected in the streets.
