Central African Republic clashes 'kill 75' in Boda town
Sectarian fighting in the Central African Republic town of Boda since Tuesday has left at least 75 people dead, the BBC reported, citing a local priest.
Father Cassien Kamatari said help was needed to stop the violence between Muslims and Christians.
The majority of those confirmed dead were Christian, Fr Kamatari said.
Because Muslim victims were buried soon after the attacks it was not known how many of them were killed, he said.
There have been widespread reports of revenge attacks since mainly Muslim fighters withdrew from the capital Bangui last month.
They did so following the resignation of interim President Michel Djotodia.
Correspondents say that while the security situation in Bangui has improved since the peacekeepers' arrival, outbreaks of violence continue in the north and west of CAR.
