Clashes between rival armed groups in the Central African Republic have left at least 16 people dead and displaced several thousand civilians, the UN has said, warning of “targeted assassinations” against ethnic Fulani.
“There have been at least 16 confirmed death and thousands displaced,” Vladimir Monteiro, spokesman for United Nations peacekeeping force MINUSCA, said in a statement yesterday.
The violence erupted on Monday between rival factions of the former “Seleka” Muslim rebel group in the town of Bria, 400 kilometres northeast of Bangui.
