The UN Security Council on Tuesday called for tougher action to tame violence in the Central Africa Republic whose government is struggling to settle down more than a year after elections.

At a briefing on the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), members of the Council said the mission may need stronger mandate to defend communities against violent groups.
