Central African Republic Civil War (2012–present). Language. Watch. Edit. The Central African Republic conflict is an ongoing civil war in the Central African Republic (CAR) involving the government, rebels from the Séléka coalition, and anti-balaka militias.
Aged 50 today, Mahamat Said Abdel Abdel Kani is reputed to have been very close in 2013 to Michel Djotodia, then head of the Seleka during the bloody conflict that pitted him against anti-balaka militias, after the overthrow of former president François Bozizé. Subsequently, he will be an influential member of Noureddine Adam 's FPRC, one of the movements born of the outbreak of the ex-rebellion at the end of 2014.
Lately, according to one of the spokespersons of the FPRC, “he no longer held a military function” and had “reconverted into politics”. He was a candidate for the legislative elections in December.
The details of his charges are not yet known. But the ICC suspects him of several crimes against humanity and war crimes: "imprisonment, torture, persecution" or "enforced disappearances" according to the statement released by the Court this Sunday evening.
Detained for a few days in Roux camp in Bangui following his arrest, he will now join in prison in The Hague two other actors of the Central African crisis of 2013, who were then operating in the opposite camp: the two former anti-balaka leaders Edgard Ngaïssona and Alfred Yekatom , whose trial is due to open before the ICC on February 9.
