GREECE-CAFRICA-EU-DEFENCE-ARMY
Brigadier General Christos Drivas poinst the location of the airport of Bangui on a map during a visit at the European Union Operation Headquarters in Larissa, central Greece, on May 13, 2014. The commander of European forces General Philippe Ponties in conflict-torn Central African Republic said on May 13, 2014 that the situation in Bangui has improved over the past two months, but remains tense in certain areas. The improved security situation in Bangui is partly due to the fact that tens of thousands of Muslims have fled attacks by mostly Christian militias in recent months, leading the United Nations to warn of "ethnic cleansing". The United Nations Security Council has also authorised a 12,000-strong contingent of peacekeepers, due to arrive on September.AFP PHOTO /Sakis Mitrolidis (Photo credit should read SAKIS MITROLIDIS/AFP via Getty Images)
