Sectarian violence in Central African Republic kills 36, injure 80
In the Central African Republic, at least 36 people have been killed in two days of violence that also triggered a night-time curfew.
At least 80 others got wounded in the clashes that were sparked by the murder of a Muslim man in the capital Bangui. Fighting began on Saturday as armed assailants attacked a mainly Christian neighborhood. Sunday saw reprisal attacks by Christian militias armed with assault rifles and machetes. Sporadic gunfire was reported in parts of the city and some homes and shops were looted. The government says the violence was aimed at derailing elections next month. In other parts of Bangui, people held a march, calling for the country’s army to take responsibility for security.
