21 Killed in Rebel Attack in Northern Central African Republic

Locals Blame 3R Militia Group for the Attack That Left Many Homeless

21 people, including children and a soldier, were killed in a rebel attack on a security outpost and a village in northern Central African Republic.
The rebels attacked army checkpoints before targeting the civilian population, killing about 20 people.
The attackers burned down houses in the village, which has been emptied of its population.
Locals blamed the 3R, or Return, Reclamation, Rehabilitation group, one of many militia groups in northern CAR, for the attack.
Many families are now homeless and forced to leave their homes because their homes were burned down.
