The Central African Republic remains insecure after the weekend elections, with rebel groups still controlling large parts of the country
Around 800 out of a total 5,408 polling stations did not open during Sunday's elections. Authorities say this was due to armed rebels who attacked voters and barred electoral staff from doing their work. CAR voters went to the polls to elect a new president and members of the legislature. The diamond- and gold-rich nation of 4.7 million has struggled to stabilise due to successive waves of militia violence since 2013. Human Rights Watch Central Africa Director Lewis Mudge told SABC news how citizens are bearing the brunt of the ongoing conflict in the country.
