The United Nations is warning there are early signs of a possible genocide in the Central African Republic, as violence in the country continues to worsen. In May, fighting between various militias killed at least 300 people and displaced 100,000 more. The Central African Republic has been plunged into violence since 2013, much of it sparked by a three-year-long military intervention by the country’s former colonial ruler, France, aimed at ousting a Muslim-majority rebel group from power.
