Polin Pumandele just wanted to sell some firewood to buy food to eat.

Instead, around 9:30 in the morning, a gang in the middle of a street in Bangui, Central African Republic murdered him in cold blood.

Why?  Because he was a Christian.  No other reason.

A Washington Post reporter was standing near the attack as the mob of Muslims grabbed Pumandele and slit his throat before throwing his body in a ditch to watch him die.  The group threatened the reporter until he fled the area.

After Pumandele was dead, the gang loaded his body into a wheelbarrow, pushed it to the nearest Red Cross office and dumped the corpse on the doorstep.

According to sources connected to international peacekeeping forces in the area, the Muslims tried to claim that Pumandele had been part of a group that threw grenades into a mosque and thus his murder was justified.  However, an investigation showed there was no grenade attack on the mosque.

The violence in the country is still onging despite 6,500 French and African soldiers in the country that try and maintain peace.  Christians are being killed by Muslims on a daily basis.
