Mia Farrow Says 'Seeds of Genocide' in Central Africa
[An Nahar] American actress and celebrity campaigner Mia Farrow urged the international community on Thursday to take urgent action to stem violence in the Central African Republic.And who knows more about Central Africa than Mia Farrow? Bono? "CAR is not a forgotten crisis. The population is simply completely abandoned," said Farrow, who is a goodwill ambassador for the UN children's agency UNICEF. Farrow, 68, recently back from a visit to the conflict-ravaged nation, told news hounds the "seeds of genocide" had been sown there and the world had a moral duty to take a stand. The Central African Republic has been plagued by instability since a coup by Seleka, a coalition of rebel groups which overthrew longtime president Francois Bozize in March. Seleka leader, Michel Djotodia, named himself president but agreed to hold elections next year. Posted by: Fred 2013-11-15 |
