Eight killed in Central African Republic days after pope's visit
Armed men in the Central African Republic killed eight civilians at a camp for displaced people and wounded one U.N. peacekeeper, just days after the pope visited the capital, the country's U.N. humanitarian coordinator said on Friday.
The attacks took place at Ngakobo, about 60 kilometres (38 miles) south of the central town of Bambari on Thursday, coordinator Aurelien Agbenonci said in a statement.
Pope Francis visited a mosque in the capital on Monday to implore Christians and Muslims to end a spiral of hate, vendetta and bloodshed that has killed thousands over the past three years and divided the nation.
