International Criminal Court: In The Hague, Netherlands, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court announced a preliminary investigation into potential war crimes or crimes against humanity in Central African Republic, saying the crisis has gone from bad to worse since September, according to 660 News. The dangers for those who stayed behind were clear: One man who tumbled from the precariously overloaded trucks was brutally slain, witnesses said and Central African Republic Thousands of Muslims climbed aboard trucks protected by heavily armed Chadian soldiers in a mass exodus Friday from the capital of Central African Republic. Their flight follows months of escalating attacks on anyone perceived as supporting a now-defunct Muslim rebel government blamed for scores of atrocities during its rule of this predominantly Christian country. Along the streets of Bangui, crowds of Christians gathered to cheer the convoys departure for the neighbouring country of Chad, which is mostly Muslim. It was an acrid farewell to their Muslim neighbours who had in some cases lived alongside Christians for generations here and have few ties to Chad.
