Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian blasted foreign countries meddling in the internal affairs of the Central African Republic.
"The killing of innocent Muslims of Central Africa is the result of fueling the religious fanatic views among the people who have lived peacefully along each other for decades," Amir Abdollahian said.

He noted that incidents in Central Africa are in line with the Islamophobia scenario, and said, "Christian extremism in the Central Africa is in continuation of the ominous phenomena of extremism among Muslims."

The top diplomat stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns both Christian extremism and Islamic extremism in Central Africa.

"The current situation in Central Africa has paved the grounds for ethnic cleansing in the Southern Africa, we should make collective efforts to prevent repetition of homicide of Rwanda," Amir Abdollahian said.

He said supports UN resolutions and Liberville agreement, and announced that helps will be sent for the Muslim refugees of Central Africa.
