Secretary-General Ban Ki-moontraveled to Central African Republic on Saturday for the first time since the countryerupted into sectarian bloodshed four months ago, where he promised thosedisplaced by the violence they could “count on the international community.”The visit comes just before the U.N. chief stops in Rwanda to mark the 20thanniversary of the genocide there.
