At least 14 people have been killed in violent clashes between Christians and Muslims that began last week in an isolated town in eastern Central African Republic.
Clashes initially broke out on Tuesday after Christians organised a march to protest against abuses by Seleka's predominantly Muslim fighters based in the town, said Bangassou police official Edouard Mbiga.
"Muslim community members, backed by Seleka, brought out weapons and blocked the march. The situation deteriorated and there were 10 deaths on both sides. It all a started from that," he said
According to News24, residents of Bangassou, around 750km east of the capital Bangui, also said Seleka fighters had backed the town's Muslims during the clashes, which saw four people killed on Saturday.
Four Christians were killed on Saturday, the religious disposition of 10 other deceased have not been confirmed.
