Alternate conflict: conflict in central african republic

This conflict is a very interesting one that most people dont even know exists so i liked to address it and show another conflict that is causiong more than 1000 deaths per year. This conflict started recently so i thought it would be easier to follow and easier to understand. I would also like to talk about why the African continent is constantly absorbed by conflicts and extreme violence, is it natural, european occupations,late indepedence, i would love to discuss it in class and get opinions on the subjet. 

The central african republic conflict began in december 10 2012, The fight is  between the Government and Séléka, a rebel group. The rebels accused the government of  François Bozizé of not following by peace agreements signed in 2007 and 2011. Rebel forces known as Séléka captured many major towns in the country in the end of 2012. Chad, Gabon, Cameroon, Angola, South Africa and Republic of Congo sent troops as help to the government to hold back a potential rebel advance on the capital, Bangui. However the capital was taken by the rebels on 24 March 2013 at which time François Bozizé fled the country and the rebel leader Michel Djotodia declared himself president.
