UN Rights Chief Issues Grave Warning on Anti-Muslim Violence in CAR Some 15,000 muslims are stuck in enclaves in Bangui. “Thousands of Muslims in the Central African Republic remain in danger of being slaughtered despite the presence of international peacekeepers, Navi Pillay, the United Nations human rights chief, warned on Thursday, criticizing the international community for a slow and inadequate response to the country’s humanitarian catastrophe. Massacres that killed thousands in December and January have halted for the time being, but ‘inter-communal hatred remains at a terrifying level as evidenced by the extraordinarily vicious nature of the killings,’ Ms. Pillay said in a statement delivered in the capital, Bangui, at the end of a two-day visit. “This has become a country where people are not just killed, they are tortured, mutilated, burned and dismembered.”
