Bangui (Central African Republic) (AFP) - Gunmen have killed at least 30 people in fresh attacks this week in the strife-torn Central African Republic, UN peacekeepers said on Thursday.

Several dozen people were also wounded in the attacks on the central village of Yamale on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the gunmen pillaging and burning down houses, UN force MINUSCA said. Central Africa has recently seen a spike of violence pitting Christians against Muslims after a period of relative calm.
