When Denis Kpetene, a Christian living among Muslims in Bangui, Central African Republic, and his 10 children heard sounds of war and saw people dying they fled across the Ubangi river to Congo. More than 400,000 refugees have fled Central African Republic (CAR) since violence between Christians and Muslims flared two years ago. Overall, across the region, nearly a million people have been made homeless by the conflict. Now, some are trying to heal the rift.
