* Seleka gunmen raid central town, villages - mayor
* Rebel coalition says will investigate accusations
* Rebellion in 2013 triggered sectarian violence
By Crispin Dembassa-Kette
BANGUI, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Rebels armed with guns and knives killed 34 people in Central African Republic, hanging some civilians and slitting others' throats in a series of attacks this week, officials said.
Fighters from the Seleka insurgent group, sometimes backed by herdsmen, raided small central settlements, said authorities, more than a year after a coup plunged the impoverished country into sectarian violence.
Seleka, a coalition of mostly Muslim fighters which seized power in March 2013 then later handed over to an interim government under international pressure, said it would look into the accusations. Spokesman Ahmat Nejad said anyone found guilty should be punished.
"Fighters from Seleka and some Fulani shot the victims at point blank range, slit their throats or hung them up by ropes," the mayor of Mbres, Bienvenue Sarapata, told Reuters on Saturday.
"Three young people were hanged on Wednesday afternoon. Other villagers were assassinated in the town centre," he said, adding that he had fled to the nearby town of Kaga-Bandora with hundreds of others.
The mayor's first counsellor Christine Ouadjapou said 34 people had killed in the attack on Mbres and surrounding villages from August 10-15.
Rights groups accused Seleka of widespread killings and other abuses after it took power.
Christian "anti-balaka" militias took up arms in response to the violence, carrying out their own wave of sectarian killings, said activists, and pushing the rebels and thousands of Muslims northwards.
The latest attacks were reported in a remote strip of territory about 350 km (220 miles) north of Bangui, sandwiched between the Muslim-dominated north and the Christian south.
In an apparent sign of the strain of the continuing violence on the country's interim government, President Catherine Samba Panza's cabinet stepped down on August 5.
The new prime minister Mahamat Kamoun, a Muslim, took office on August 14 and is seeking to form a government. Seleka rebels say they will not take part in any national unity government as they were not consulted about the choice of prime minister.
The United Nations is due to deploy a 12,000-strong peacekeeping mission in September, built on 6,000 African troops already on the ground.
France also deployed about 2,000 soldiers to its former colony in December as sectarian violence intensified.
Central African Republic has reserves of gold, diamonds, uranium but has been rocked by a series of coups and clashes since its independence in 1960.
It neighbours some of the continent's least stable countries including South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo. (Writing by Emma Farge; Editing by Andrew Heavens)

Why We Exist

Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability. Africa Realities Media exposes that system.

Lived Experience Matters

Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders. Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.

Our Principle

Africa Realities Media is rooted in one principle: African lives deserve equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

THE BATTLE OF RUBAYA: Rwanda's War for Minerals Exposed

T he FDLR Pretext Collapses Under the Weight of Documented Plunder   Introduction: A Battle That Tells the Truth When Rwandan-backed RDF/M23 forces fought with extraordinary ferocity to seize and hold Rubaya — a remote mining town in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo — the stated justification was security. Kigali's consistent public line has been that its military presence in the DRC is a response to the threat posed by the Forces Democratiques de Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR), an armed group whose leaders include individuals linked to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. This narrative has been accepted, qualified, or left insufficiently challenged by Western governments and multilateral institutions for over a decade. The Battle of Rubaya strips that narrative bare. What unfolded in Rubaya was not a counter-insurgency operation against genocidal remnants. It was a sustained military campaign — reinforced by the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF), prosecuted at sign...

LA BATAILLE DE RUBAYA : La guerre du Rwanda pour les minerais exposée

Le prĂ©texte des FDLR s’effondre sous le poids du pillage documentĂ© Introduction : une bataille qui dit la vĂ©ritĂ© Lorsque les forces RDF/M23 soutenues par le Rwanda ont combattu avec une fĂ©rocitĂ© extraordinaire pour s’emparer de Rubaya et la conserver — une ville minière reculĂ©e du Nord-Kivu, dans l’est de la RĂ©publique dĂ©mocratique du Congo — la justification officielle Ă©tait la sĂ©curitĂ©. La ligne publique constante de Kigali a Ă©tĂ© que sa prĂ©sence militaire en RDC rĂ©pond Ă  la menace posĂ©e par les Forces dĂ©mocratiques de libĂ©ration du Rwanda (FDLR), un groupe armĂ© dont les dirigeants comprennent des individus liĂ©s au gĂ©nocide de 1994 contre les Tutsi. Ce rĂ©cit a Ă©tĂ© acceptĂ©, nuancĂ©, ou laissĂ© insuffisamment contestĂ© par les gouvernements occidentaux et les institutions multilatĂ©rales pendant plus d’une dĂ©cennie. La bataille de Rubaya met ce rĂ©cit Ă  nu. Ce qui s’est dĂ©roulĂ© Ă  Rubaya n’Ă©tait pas une opĂ©ration de contre-insurrection contre des restes gĂ©nocidaires. C’Ă©tait une campagne mili...

Les remèdes cosmĂ©tiques de la France face Ă  la guerre dans l’est de la RDC

RĂ©solution 2773, ConfĂ©rence de Paris, doctrine macronienne du dialogue et pari de la Francophonie La politique de la France Ă  l’Ă©gard de l’est de la RDC a produit un schĂ©ma constant : un langage public fort, une faible application des dĂ©cisions, aucune pression visible fondĂ©e sur les sanctions, et des appels rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©s au dialogue qui laissent largement intact le levier militaire et politique du Rwanda. La France ne peut pas rĂ©diger des rĂ©solutions, organiser des confĂ©rences, rejeter les sanctions, appeler au dialogue, puis revendiquer la neutralitĂ© pendant que les civils restent sous occupation, dĂ©placement et violence. Dans une guerre de cette ampleur, le silence et l’inaction ne sont pas neutres. Ce sont des actes politiques. Introduction La France se prĂ©sente comme l’une des puissances occidentales les plus engagĂ©es dans la recherche de la paix dans l’est de la RĂ©publique dĂ©mocratique du Congo. Elle a parrainĂ© la RĂ©solution 2773 du Conseil de sĂ©curitĂ© des Nations unies. Elle a organ...

President Macron Against US Sanctions on Rwanda

How France's Interests in Mozambique Obstruct Peace in the DRC A Critical Analysis of Emmanuel Macron's Interview with TV5 Monde, Africa Forward Summit, Nairobi, 12 May 2026 Published by The African Rights Campaign (ARC)   |   London, May 2026   1. Introduction This analysis is based on French President Emmanuel Macron's interview with TV5 Monde, conducted on 12 May 2026 during the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya. In that interview, Macron was asked a direct question: given that Rwanda's support for the M23 armed group has been documented by United Nations experts, and given that the United States has imposed sanctions on the Rwanda Defence Force and several of its senior officers, why have France and the European Union declined to do the same? Macron's response was unconvincing, dishonest and analytically incoherent. It revealed not a carefully calibrated position of principled neutrality, but the operational logic of a government that has c...

The Kagame Myth: Western Power, Private Jets and Rwanda’s Controlled Reality

  ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION Introduction: The Myth and the Man Behind the Myth There is a version of Paul Kagame that exists in the conference halls of Davos, in the pages of Western magazines, in private hotel meetings in London, Paris and Washington, and on the sleeves of European football shirts. In this version, Kagame is a visionary. A builder. A disciplined African moderniser. A leader who pulled a broken country from the ashes of genocide and turned it into what admirers often call the “Singapore of Africa”. In this version, Rwanda is clean, efficient, safe, investment-friendly and orderly. Kagame is presented as the African leader the West wants to believe in: controlled, polished, pro-market, security-focused and comfortable in elite Western spaces. Then there is the Rwanda that many Rwandans, exiles, journalists, opposition figures and human rights organisations describe. In this Rwanda, YouTubers and online commentators are jailed for what they say. Critics die in custo...

Dr Phil Clark ( SOAS University of London): A biased lecturer and researcher about African issues.

Dr Phil Clark   was born in Sudan and   is currently   working at SOAS University of London. He is known to be   biased lecturer and researcher about African issues, particularly the Rwandan genocide.     With his poor judgement and analytical thinking, this man only talk about   the results   of events and forget the     root causes. He is a staunch supporter of the criminal, dictator and killer Paul Kagame , the President of   Rwanda. He is singing the song of the winner of the Rwandan  war. He is in the same boat with Linda Melvern, a biased British   freelancer who received a medal from the dictator Paul     Kagame.

Le Président Macron contre les sanctions américaines imposées au Rwanda

Introduction La prĂ©sente analyse est fondĂ©e sur l'entretien accordĂ© par le prĂ©sident français Emmanuel Macron Ă  TV5 Monde, le 12 mai 2026, lors de l'Africa Forward Summit Ă  Nairobi, au Kenya. Au cours de cet entretien, Macron s'est vu poser une question directe : Ă©tant donnĂ© que le soutien du Rwanda au groupe armĂ© M23 est aujourd'hui documentĂ© par les experts des Nations Unies, et Ă©tant donnĂ© que les États-Unis ont imposĂ© des sanctions aux Forces de dĂ©fense du Rwanda (FDR) ainsi qu'Ă  plusieurs de leurs hauts responsables, pourquoi la France et l'Union europĂ©enne n'ont-elles pas fait de mĂŞme ?

Kagame’s Image Machine: Who Profits While Rwanda Stays Poor

I nvestigation:  Paying to Stay Poor: How Western PR Firms, Lobbyists, Sports Clubs and Media Outlets Profit from Rwanda’s Image Economy Introduction: An Ecosystem of Paid Influence Rwanda is often presented internationally as a model of discipline, security, investment promotion and post-genocide recovery. That image has been carefully built, repeatedly amplified and professionally protected. Behind it sits a costly international network of sports sponsorships, lobbying contracts, public relations firms, legal consultancy, political access, favourable media relationships and diplomatic narrative management. The moral problem is clear. Rwanda remains heavily dependent on foreign aid and external financing. According to World Bank-linked data, foreign aid received by Rwanda reached approximately 1.39 billion US dollars in 2023. UNDP’s 2025 Human Development Report gives Rwanda a Human Development Index value of 0.578 for 2023, placing it 159th out of 193 countries and territories. U...

Justice ou théâtre politique ? Les procès français du génocide rwandais et le travail inachevé de la réconciliation entre Rwandais

Introduction Depuis 2014, les tribunaux français ont poursuivi une sĂ©rie de ressortissants rwandais hutu pour leur rĂ´le prĂ©sumĂ© dans le gĂ©nocide de 1994 contre les Tutsi. Le premier procès, celui de l’ancien chef du renseignement Pascal Simbikangwa, a Ă©tĂ© suivi par les condamnations des anciens bourgmestres Octavien Ngenzi et Tito Barahira en 2016, puis par la condamnation, en 2023, de l’ancien officier de gendarmerie Philippe Hategekimana. Aucun accusĂ© jugĂ© en France, au titre de la compĂ©tence universelle, pour le gĂ©nocide rwandais n’a Ă©tĂ© acquittĂ©. D’autres poursuites devraient suivre. Ces procĂ©dures ont Ă©tĂ© largement saluĂ©es comme la preuve que la France affronte enfin son passĂ© d’État ayant protĂ©gĂ© des auteurs prĂ©sumĂ©s du gĂ©nocide sur son territoire. Des organisations internationales de dĂ©fense des droits humains, des spĂ©cialistes du gĂ©nocide et une partie de la sociĂ©tĂ© civile française les ont prĂ©sentĂ©es comme une contribution tardive, mais bienvenue, Ă  la lutte mondiale contre l’...

Why Africa Realities Media Is Different

Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Pourquoi Africa Realities Media est différent?

Africa Realities Media s’adresse Ă  l’Afrique et au monde dĂ©veloppĂ©. De nombreux abus subis par les peuples africains sont commis par des États africains et des Ă©lites dirigeantes, mais ils sont souvent protĂ©gĂ©s par le silence international, le lobbying, les relations publiques, les intĂ©rĂŞts commerciaux, les accords migratoires et une responsabilitĂ© mondiale inĂ©gale. Tandis que des gouvernements paient des lobbyistes pour prĂ©senter une bonne image Ă  l’Ă©tranger, des Africains ordinaires continuent de faire face Ă  la violence, Ă  la faim, aux maladies, Ă  la pauvretĂ©, Ă  la rĂ©pression et Ă  l’exclusion. Nous contestons la normalisation de la souffrance africaine et exigeons une vĂ©ritĂ© Ă©gale, une justice Ă©gale et une protection Ă©gale.

Policy and Systems Change

Our work is designed to trigger debate, discomfort and action. We do not only expose injustice; we work for policy and systems change. We want governments and institutions to address the root causes of inequality, disadvantage, discrimination, exclusion and barriers affecting African people. We believe lasting change must be shaped by people with lived experience.

Exposing Injustice in Africa

Africa Realities Media is an independent African accountability platform based in London. We report, analyse and challenge the systems that shape African suffering, silence African victims and protect abusive power. We are not here to repeat diplomatic language. We are here to ask the questions that are often avoided: why are African deaths treated as normal? Why are African victims given less urgency? Why are governments that imprison, exclude, displace or kill their own people protected when they serve powerful international interests?

Africa Realities Media gives space to writers, researchers, experts, activists, community voices, campaigners, analysts and people with lived experience who want to contribute thoughtful, responsible and courageous content about the changes needed in the region, as well as the political, economic, cultural and social African realities that are often ignored, minimised or misrepresented. Our articles and videos aim to encourage debate, raise awareness, stimulate critical thinking and support reflection.
