Central African Republic - Feb 16

UN officials have announced that in spite of the religious violence that plagues the nation, elections can still be held in the Central African Republic if peacekeepers are deployed and funds are made available. Elections are considered an integral part of the peace process, and so UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon has asked the Security Council for 1,030 new peacekeepers as well as increased police presence in the country. The UNDP aims to schedule elections by August 2015. Source: The Guardian
