UN authorises military action in Central African Republic
UN votes to increase military action in Central African Republic to attempt to combat "complete chaos" that has enveloped country
The UN Security Council has authorised increased military action by France and African troops to try to end the crisis in the Central African Republic.
The council unanimously approved a French-sponsored resolution Thursday aimed at restoring security and protecting civilians in the impoverished country.
The authorisation is expected to lead to an increase in troops for an African Union-led force and French troops.
