BANGUI: A Muslim man was killed on the edge of a Christian-besieged enclave in the Central African Republic’s capital on Tuesday, a day after Pope Francis visited the area calling for peace and tolerance, community leaders and a human rights group said.
Under intense security, Francis entered PK5, a Muslim enclave cut off from the rest of Bangui by Christian militias for months, and visited its central mosque, wrapping up a three-nation tour of Africa on Monday.
In a speech there he said Central Africans "must say no to hatred, to revenge and to violence" and his visit immediately prompted some Muslims to venture through the tense no-man’s land surrounding the enclave.
"This morning there was a Muslim who wanted to head out of the enclave.
He was intercepted. His body was carried to the mosque," said Ibrahim Hassan Frede, spokesman for the Coordination of Central African Muslim Associations.
