The attack was repulsed by the Central African Armed Forces with the support of Russians, Rwandans and Congolese soldiers who came to the Central African Republic as part of military cooperation with the nation. The U.N. mission in Central African Republic, known as MINUSCA, has spoken out against the attacks. The mineral-rich Central African Republic has faced deadly inter-religious and inter-communal fighting since 2013, when predominantly Muslim Seleka rebels seized power from Bozize after long claiming marginalization.
