BANGUI (Reuters) - At least 28 people have been killed in Central African Republic during several days of fighting between Muslim and Christian militias in a town in the centre of the war-torn country, a priest and a former member of parliament told Reuters on Monday.
The fighting in Mala, around 300 km (190 miles) north of the capital Bangui, between former Seleka rebels and the Christian militia known as the "anti-Balaka", is the latest in months of tit-for-tat inter-communal violence that has killed thousands and displaced over 1 million people.
