Nearly million people displaced by CAR conflict - UN [View all]
The number of internally displaced people in the Central African Republic (CAR) has more than doubled to 935,000 since December, the UN says.
More than 500,000 have fled their homes in the capital Bangui alone - almost half the city's population. Some 60% of those displaced are children.
...
The conflict has pitted Christian and Muslim militias against each other.
The CAR is ruled by Muslim ex-rebel leader Michel Djotodia who seized power last March, forcing then-President Francois Bozize, who came from the majority Christian population, to flee into exile.
