BBC World Service - Assignment, Central African Republic - A Road Through Hatred

Can a unique friendship between two men end the killings in the Central African Republic?

Can a unique friendship between two men of God end the killings in the Central African Republic?

How do you restore peace to a country now being torn apart by a vicious campaign of ethnic and religious cleansing? Two men in the Central African Republic believe they have the answer – friendship. Tim Whewell joins the Catholic Archbishop of Bangui, Dieudonne Nzapalainga and the country's Chief Imam, Oumar Kobine Layama as they travel across the country trying to reconcile Christian and Muslim communities.
