In Central African Republic, hundreds of civilians are looking for refuge after attacks by Christian militias killed up to 30 people.
The UN says hundreds of fighters took part in the violence throughout the weekend near the Congolese border. Officials say they were armed with heavy weapons and appeared to be targeting Muslims. Six UN peacekeepers were killed in one attack, and 11 others wounded. It's the latest sign that the multi-year conflict is getting worse.
