UN approves use of force by EU troops in CAR

  • 10 years ago
The UN Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution allowing European Union troops to use force in the Central African Republic and threatening sanctions against those blamed for the country's strife.

The EU has pledged 500 troops to help African and French forces already in the country trying to end clashes between rival Christian and Muslim militias.
