Dismayed at religious violence in central Africa
The Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) expresses its dismay and concern about the recent sectarian attacks, violence and killings currently taking place in the Central African Republic (CAR). Many Muslim families have fled from their homes and some 50,000 third-country nationals have left the country. In the last year, approximately one million people have been displaced across the country, including some 85,000 new refugees that have fled to neighboring countries.
