The European Union is expected soon send up to 1,000 soldiers to help stabilize Central African Republic. It would be the EU’s first major army operation in six years. Reuters says, “the intervention by the 28-nation bloc comes after a senior U.N. official warned on Thursday of the risk of genocide in Central African Republic without a more robust international response to communal bloodshed.”
