I mentioned in the previous merge proposal that I think Central African Republic conflict under the Djotodia administration should be merged into this article as well for the same reasons as the previous merger. Charles Essie (talk) 15:25, 26 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support: the positioning of wikilinks in that article appears to indicate that the delineation from this one was based on the original scope of this article, before the merge and name change in recent months. ▸₷truthiousandersnatch 17:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Oppose, simply on the grounds that the existing article is too big. At 168k, adding another 58k would take the page even further over the recommended 100k max. There is already a summary section, linked by a main template to the other page, consistent with the common summary format. This keeps the pages well linked. So, I think that the current structure works and should be kept. Klbrain (talk) 17:04, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Mortalities edit

Hello, the Mortalities section of this article needs to be rewritten. The information in it is fine, it's just in an ugly form and needs to be either in prose or a list of some kind. Swordman97 talk to me 15:47, 13 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

LRA in the info box edit

Why isn't the LRA considered a Belligerent, it was a major part of the beginning and middle parts of the war and to some extent still exists and posses a threat but is not in the infobox, Why? If it were to be added would it count as a fourth belligerent.--Garmin21 (talk) 02:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

IMO adding fourth belligerent would make it too complicated, maybe in column with some rebel groups? Borysk5 (talk) 07:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Christan" anti-Balaka edit

The word "Christian" appears 18 times in this article, mostly to describe anti-Balaka fighters. I have inspected dozens of photographs of anti-Balaka fighters, and only one of them displayed a Christian symbol, namely a cross. All other anti-Balaka fighter I saw wore amulets, which indicate paganism, not Christianity. No evidence is provided that any anti-Balaka fighters are Christians, although they may sympathize with Christianity. In the Lebanese civil war of the 1970s, Christian fighters wore huge crucifixes. I think the obsessive use of the term "Christian is largely propagandistic. Unless something is done to tone down this propaganda, I will have to do it myself.

Not mutually exclusive in this part of world, Anti-balakas are often nominally Christian, but believe in animistic beliefs. That saying Christian beliefs are not important to their ideology nowadays probably. Borysk5 (talk) 06:57, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
