Central African Republic Crisis Getting Even Worse – UN

The security situation in the Central African Republic is getting even worse despite the inauguration of a new leader, the UN human rights chief says.

“Muslim civilians are now extremely vulnerable,” said Navi Pillay.

Her statement came as a Muslim and Christian leader met British Prime Minister David Cameron to lobby for more international assistance.

About a million people – 20% of the population – have fled their homes during months of religious violence.

“I call as a matter of utmost urgency upon the international community to strengthen peacekeeping efforts… Many lives are at stake,” said Ms Pillay.
