Amnesty International Identifies Culprits. Amnesty International has identified those it believes are responsible for atrocities recently committed in the Central African Republic (CAR). Several leaders from rebels and militia groups, as well as former Presidents Francois Bozize and Michel Djotodia, are named by the rights group. The trouble in CAR began as Mr Djotodia's mainly Muslim rebels seized power in March last year. The majority Christia state then descended into ethno-religious warfare. Thousands of people have been killed and almost a quarter of the country's 4 point 6 million inhabitants have been forced from their homes. The presence of some 7,000 international peacekeepers has also failed to put an end to the violence and revenge attacks. The new President, Catherine Samba-Panza, has asked the International Criminal Court to investigate the violence, and in March the UN launched an inquiry into human rights abuses in the former French colony.
