Angesichts der gravierenden Situation in der Zentralafrikanischen Republik schlägt UN-Generalsekretär Ban Ki Moon Alarm: Die Europäische Union solle mehr Einsatz in dem von religiösen Kämpfen geplagten Land zeigen. Auch Amnesty International prangert den Ernst der Lage an - und fordert ungewöhnlicherweise mehr Interventionstruppen.
"The ICRC, established in 1863, works worldwide to provide humanitarian help for people affected by conflict and armed violence and to promote the laws that protect victims of war. An independent and neutral organization, its mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, it employs some 12,000 people in 80 countries; it is financed mainly by voluntary donations from governments and from national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies."
