On June 29 Firmin Gbagoua, pastor of the Bambari parish covering most of Central African Republic, was murdered by a Muslim anti - government suspicion group. Gbagoua served as the regional director of the international Catholic relief organization Caritas, the sixth Catholic priest who was killed in the conflict. In 2013, most of the Christian countries fell into conflict when President Seleca of the Muslim Rebellion Alliance defeated President François Bozise and the leader, Michelle Giotto, who took office as Prime Minister took office. . The rebellion alliance has increased rapidly throughout the country, burning the village, attacking and looting the church. As President until 2014, Djotodia tried to dissolve Seleka, but the split group continued fighting as former Seleka

According to the local legend, Amiens' first church was founded in the 3rd century by St. Fleming, a disciple of St. Saturninus of Toulouse. After his martyrdom, he was handed down to another person named Firmin. He was known as Confessor St. Philmin. Nothing is known about these Firmins; their biography was invented in the Middle Ages. But even though we relied solely on historical evidence, Amiens is still an ancient foundation. In 334, Tour of St. Martin was baptized, shared his cloak with a donkey, and in 346 the first bishop of Amiens was recorded. It was wiped out by pagan barbarians (Vandals, Alans and Sueves) who cleaned the northern part of France in 407.
