A top U.N. official has warned the conflict in Central African Republic is at risk of becoming a genocide. Fighting between Muslim and Christian militias has displaced more than one million people and killed more than 1,000 last month alone. John Ging, director of U.N. humanitarian operations, called for an immediate response from the international community.

John Ging: “The stakes are extremely high. It has all the elements that we have seen elsewhere, in places like Rwanda and Bosnia. The elements are there, the seeds are there for a genocide. There’s no question about that.”
