A miracle occurred!!
“Two days later, it was like a switch had been thrown. The president of the United States asked for the people of the CAR for calm, speaking to them directly through the Internet and radio. The president shook $100 million loose from the federal budget, to purchase much-needed supplies to the African peacekeepers struggling to stem the killing and airlift in reinforcements. And on Thursday, Samantha Power, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, announced yet another $15 million in humanitarian aid and the pending presence of U.S. military advisers to assist the African Union’s forces in restoring peace.”
That’s right! The president of these United States spoke directly to the people of the Central African Republic … directly!! … through the Internet and by radio, and … and … millions of murders were averted as factions laid down their assault rifles and handguns and other bad guns. Just from hearing the president’s voice!!

But today: “Bangui (Central African Republic) (AFP) - The president of Central African Republic Tuesday made a new appeal for peace to stop the sectarian killings that have terrorised the country, while Burundian and Chadian troops sent to help restore calm traded fire in Bangui.
“Michel Djotodia, former Seleka rebel leader who seized power in a March coup, called for an end to the ‘massacres’ as violence has swelled between Muslims and Christians.”
