This Is Some Much Needed Heartwarming News From Central Africa

'Hundreds of people marched from a Muslim neighborhood known as PK-5 to another neighborhood, called Boy-Rabe, both in the capital city, Bangui.

The march was a big deal: Boy-Rabe has basically been off limits to Muslims since 2013, when a coup toppled the government. Rebel groups and self-defense forces have been clashing since then.

A lot of Muslims lived in Boy-Rabe and had to flee to PK-5, on the other side of town. They hadn’t seen their homes or their neighbors since then. At least not until this moment.

When the Muslim marchers arrived in their old neighborhood, thousands of people came out to greet them — including some of their former neighbors. It was pretty joyous.
