OIC chief Iyad Madani
Jeddah (IINA) – Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Iyad Ameen Madani called for calm and restraint in the Central African Republic (CAR), following the violence that hit the country.
Madani who voiced his deep concern over the latest resurgence of sectarian and communal violence which killed dozens of people in Bangui, appealed to the armed groups to drop their weapons and to respect the letter and spirit of the conclusions of the May 2015 Bangui National Forum for reconciliation in CAR.
The Secretary General expressed his sadness at the huge loss of lives during the confrontations in the past few days, which also caused the destruction and looting of property. He urged the communities to avoid further escalation and called on the transitional authorities as well as the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) to assume their full responsibilities and ensure the protection of civilians.
