22 reported killed in clashes over C.African Republic town

[Al Ahram] At least 22 people, mainly civilians, were killed in festivities between mainly Moslem rebels and Christian militia in the Central African Republic earlier this week, the local Red Thingy said on Wednesday.

The festivities took place on Monday in Grimari, about 300 km (190 miles) northeast of Bangui, and coincide with a push into the interior by French and African forces struggling to contain violence that experts warn has pushed the country to the verge of genocide.

"There are 22 dead, four of whom were women killed by stray bullets," Michel Sefionam, head of Grimari's medical centre and a member of the local Red Thingy, told Rooters by telephone.
