Séléka Coalition

The Séléka coalition is a group of rebel fighters from mostly Muslim backgrounds that emerged in the Central African Republic around 2012. They united to challenge the government, citing issues like inequality and neglect of their communities. Their actions led to a civil conflict, causing widespread violence and instability. The coalition's rise prompted international concern and efforts to restore peace, but their presence significantly impacted the country's political and security situation.
