Rival Militias Strike Peace Deal in Central African Republic 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
Rival militias in the Central African Republic have reached a peace deal
with the government after two years of fighting. The country has faced a
crisis since March 2013 when Muslim Séléka rebels seized power,
sparking a backlash from Christian armed groups. Thousands have died and
nearly a million have been displaced. The peace accord calls on the 10
main militias to disarm, integrate into the army, and potentially face
charges of war crimes.
