The Central African Republic is facing one of its “last chances” to deal with the political instability and the resulting conflict which has affected the country for over a year.

The UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative in the CAR, Babacar Gaye, said politicians and armed groups involved in the conflict have to act now to stop insecurity and to rebuild society.

There have also been widespread reports of atrocities.

Jean-Pierre Ramazani asked Babacar Gaye about his message to the people of the country.
