The 'Most Neglected Crisis in the World'

Newsday

Available for over a year

The Central African Republic is still suffering what's been called one of the most neglected crises in the world. The government struggles to control the capital Bangui, helped by African peacekeepers. The country has a reputation for being one of the most dangerous for humanitarian operations. The veteran Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, has again become speaker of the US House of Representatives as her party takes charge of the chamber - ushering in a new era of divided government under President Trump. Archaeologists in Mexico say they have made an important discovery, uncovering a temple to Xipe Tótec - the pre-Hispanic "Flayed lord". Historically, throughout the region, priests paid tribute to the deity by wearing the skin of human sacrifices.
