An outbreak of violence in Paoua.
Clashes in the Central African Republic have forced 60,000 people to leave everything behind to escape the fighting. The recent outbreak of violence in Paoua is between two armed groups; the RJ and the MNLC. UN reports suggest that elements of the RJ group have intentionally attacked and killed civilians from certain communities. The MNLC group are also responsible for the destruction of several villages in the north of Paoua, burning hundreds of homes and causing death and chaos in these areas.
