UN flags risk of genocide in Central African Republic

Senior UN officials have warned the Security Council of the risk of genocide in the Central African Republic.

A United Nations special advisor on the prevention of genocide, Adama Dieng told the council:
"We are seeing armed groups killing people under the guise of their religion,"

"My feeling is that this will end with Christian communities, Muslim communities killing each other which means that if we don't act now and decisively I will not exclude the possibility of a genocide occurring,"
