CAR Muslim minority extremely helpless: UN

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says the Central African Republic's (CAR) Muslim community has come under increasing attack, urging governments to do more to stop the crisis.

“The security and human rights situation has further deteriorated over the past few days…Muslim civilians are now extremely vulnerable. Many are being pushed out of the country," Pillay said in a statement on Monday.
She went on to say that killings were happening on a daily basis and called on the international community to do more to prevent the country being torn apart.

"We simply cannot let the social fabric of this country be torn apart," Pillay said, adding, "I call as a matter of utmost urgency upon the international community to strengthen peacekeeping efforts...Many lives are at stake."
