Central African Republic: UN votes to send peacekeepers
The UN Security Council has voted to send a 12,000-strong force to the Central African Republic (CAR).
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has warned of "ethno-religious cleansing" in CAR, with lynchings, decapitations and sexual violence going unpunished.
The UN resolution also authorises some 2,000 French troops to work alongside the UN peacekeepers.
