3 INTRODUCTION The recent events in the Central African Republic in December 2013 were a multifaceted crisis with political, religious, economic and human dimensions. While the balance sheet of the crisis has been getting heavier everyday due to the conflict in the country, the military and civilian casualties have been increasing rapidly. A multilateral cooperation is required in order to overcome the crisis situation in Central African Republic and to ensure the state of normalization in the country, where more than 2 million people need humanitarian assistance, more than one thousand abandoned their home and more than 1000 were killed. In fact, there has been a concern, in the name of humanity, of the events in the Central African Republic getting uncontrollable and turning into interreligious conflict. As a landlocked country in the Middle Africa, the Central African Republic (CAR) is one of the poorest countries in the region. The country has a population of 4.5 million and borders with Sudan, Chad, Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan. The country s economy is based on agriculture, despite having underground resources like gold, diamonds and uranium. The country in the tropical climate zone receives heavy rain during certain periods. The region was used to be named as Oubangui-Chari under French Colonial, but then named as Central Africa since its independence. The capital city Bangui has the highest population density. Despite the Muslim communities live in the northern part of the country, bordering Chad and Sudan; a considerable proportion of Muslim population live in Bangui, the capital city, as well.
