At least 48 people died in clashes between residents of the capital of Central African Republic in an outbreak of violence that has brought the city to a standstill less than a month before elections.
The unrest began in Bangui after a Muslim man was found killed on Saturday, according to an e-mailed statement from the aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres. The morgue has so far received 42 bodies, Crepin Lenga, a supervisor at the facility, said in an interview Monday.
