Shocking photographs have emerged of a cannibal by the name of
Mad Dog consuming the flesh of a lynched Muslim man for the second time in as
many weeks as the clash between Christians and Muslims has been going on reports
Daily Mail UK.
In one of the pictures,(See Pictures after the story-WARNING:Extremely Graphic) 'Mad Dog' - real name Ouandja
Magloire - cuts a portion of meat from the body of a murdered Muslim lying and burning
on a roundabout in a street in Bangui,Central African Republic, with the body
of another a few yards away.
In another he is shown licking human blood off of a knife as
he stands over the body.
Earlier in the month also, horrific footage emerged from
Bangui of Magloire eating the leg of a Muslim who, according to the BBC, was
hauled from a bus, battered and then stabbed before being set on fire. Magloire told a BBC reporter at the time that
his action was revenge for the murders of his pregnant wife, his sister-in-law
and her baby. He claimed that Muslims were responsible and he was angry with
them.
'They broke down the door and cut my baby in half. I
promised I would get my revenge,' he said.
‘Mad Dog’ spotted his victim on a minibus and followed him
after deciding he looked Muslim.
He gathered a crowd of about 20 Christian youths who forced
the bus driver to stop and dragged him from the bus.
Without emotion he told the BBC: 'I poured petrol over him.
I burned him. I ate his leg, right down the white bone.'
Witnesses did not intervene but recorded the footage on
mobile phones, including the act of cannibalism.
One of such footages showed his cheeks bulging as he
consumes the flesh.
Witness Jean-Sylvestre Tchya told news agency AFP: 'One of
the individuals took hold of an arm and went and bought some bread and starting
chewing on the flesh, along with his bread.
'The scene made many people vomit,
and some cried out in horror.'
Another witness, Alain Gbabobou, said he watched a man wrap
the head up and proclaim that he would 'feast on it'.
According to The Associated Press, the men were killed by
residents of the Sango neighbourhood in revenge for the lynching of a taxi
driver from Sango a day earlier.
Two other Muslim passers-by escaped to the
protection of French and African peacekeeping forces.
The agency understands that Magloire –the cannibal didn't
take part in the killings, but turned up in the aftermath.
According to its source, he is the only person in the
Central African Republic known to be carrying out acts of cannibalism.
Meanwhile Catherine
Samba-Panza, 59, was elected mayor of the Central African Republic and has used
her first speech to appeal to both Christians and Muslims to stop the fighting.
Speaking to the Christian self-defence militia known as 'anti-balaka'
(anti-machete), Samba-Panza said: 'Show your support for my nomination by
giving the strong signal of laying down your weapons. She issued a similar
appeal to the members of mostly Muslim rebel group Seleka, telling them: 'Stop
the suffering of the people. 'Starting today, I am the president of all Central
Africans, without exclusion. 'The top priority is to stop people's suffering,
to restore security and the authority of the state across the country.'
In another development the European Union today agreed to
send up to 1,000 troops to the region to help restore order. The mission, which
will deploy in and around the capital and last up to six months, is expected to
involve a force numbering between 400 and 1,000.The troops will help back 1,600
French soldiers and the African Union's MISCA force, which currently has 4,400
troops on the ground. International donors also pledged $496 million (£302
million) in aid to the country this year.
