CAR on brink of genocide warns Desmond Tutu

The Central African Republic is close to facing genocide warned Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in a statement released by the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation today.


“The country stands on the brink of genocide; some would say it has already commenced,” said Tutu in the statement.


The Archbishop stressed that that the people of the CAR had to play a key role in finding sustainable peace.
He further warned that struggles for power over the last year had degenerated into “anarchy, hatred and ethnic cleansing.”
