The Central African Republic has been mired in violence since predominantly Muslim rebels seized power.
Maxime Jeoffroy Eli Mokom Gawaka is accused of violently targeting the Muslim civilian population in the Central African Republic.
Maxime Jeoffroy Eli Mokom Gawaka was handed over to the court in March 2022. A former national coordinator of so-called anti-balaka militias, he is accused of violently targeting the Muslim civilian population in 2013 and 2014. The CAR has been mired in violence since a coalition of mostly northern and predominantly Muslim rebels known as Seleka, or “Alliance” in the Sango language, seized power in March 2013. Their dominance gave rise to the opposing anti-balaka Christian militias.
The ICC has been investigating the violence in the CAR since May 2014. There are already two ongoing trials before the court involving two other anti-balaka leaders and one Seleka leader.
