CAR is serious threat to region: UN

The UN Security Council has warned that the Central African Republic (CAR) poses a "serious threat" to regional stability, following a rebel takeover in March.
There has been "a total breakdown in law and order" the Council said.
Aid agency Save the Children on Tuesday warned that more than 100,000 children faced sexual abuse and recruitment into armed groups in the country.
CAR has gold and diamond deposits but has been unstable since independence. Uganda's rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has taken advantage of years of unrest in CAR to set up bases in the country.
CAR also shares a long border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, also home to numerous armed groups.
"The country runs the risk of descending into anarchy and chaos," UN CAR envoy retired Lt Gen Babacar Gaye.
Fighters from the Seleka coalition which seized power in March, with no chain of command, are said to be sustaining themselves with looting and crime.
