The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Mr. Iyad Ameen Madani, has called for calm and restraint in the Central African Republic (CAR). Mr. Madani who voiced his deep concern at 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 respect the letter and spirit to the conclusions of the May 2015 Bangui National Forum for reconciliation in CAR. While expressing sadness at the huge loss of lives during the confrontations in the past few days causing also the destruction and looting of property, the Secretary General urged the communities avoid further escalation. He urged the Transitional authorities as well as the UN Mission, MINUSCA, to assume their full responsibilities and ensure the protection of civilians.
