Violence in the Central African Republic peaked on 15 November as dozens were killed in the small south-east town of Alindao.
Armed men believed to be members of UPC, a mainly Muslim and Fulani militia, stormed the cathedral and the nearby refugee camp hosting more than 26,000 people displaced following previous attacks in the town and its surrounding villages.
The massacre followed the same pattern as one in 2017 and was said to have been triggered by clashes between militiamen, following the killing of a UPC fighter. Early reports suggest that more 40 people lost their lives during the killing spree, but other sources estimated that as many as 100 people may have been killed.
