French journalist killed in CAR -summary and reaction-

In the last class, I read an article which said French journalist was killed in Central African Republic.

It is said security in CAR has deteriorated in recent months. Mainly because of a conflict between christian, who form the majority, and muslim. French journalist seemed to be involved in fighting and killed when she was travelling near the CAR border with Cameroon. About this case, French presidency said all means necesally would bo taken to shed light, and actually the EU has deployed troops there.

 

I thought up three things after reading this article; the physical danger of the journalism as own job, the fact of existance of conflict inside one country, and finally the fact of intervension by other countries.

Firstly, I realised the possibility of getting injured or even being killed in the work of journalism. I am taking a journalism into an option of my furture job, so I felt I had to think about my furture more seriously.

Secondly, I realised there were still a lot of conflicts inside one country around the world. As I live in Japan, it is not very familiar to me. So I have to see problems which occure in other countries ,especially not big countries.

Thirdly, I was surprised by that EU deploysed troops to take control of security in CAR. Why can EU take a millitary action in other country? What kind of relationship based on law is there between EU and CAR? These question occured to me. I have to check them.

My reaction about the article was these three things above.
