Fresh CAR massacre flagged

Red Cross workers have found 115 bodies in the CAR's border town of Bangassou after several days of militia attacks. Antoine Mbao Bogo, the president of the aid group's local branch, reportedly told Reuters that those killed had ‘died in various ways’, including from knives, clubs and bullet wounds. ‘We found 115 bodies and 34 have been buried,’ he said from the capital, Bangui. A report on the allAfrica site notes that a senior UN official had previously reported 26 civilian deaths. According to the UN refugee agency, the situation in Bangassou saw an estimated 2 750 refugees fleeing across the border into the DRC earlier this month.
