Starvation being used as a weapon of war, report says

Government forces in the country are using starvation as a weapon of war against their own citizens, an investigation has found. Deliberate starvation tactics used by government forces and allied militia, and by opposition forces, are driving civilians out of their homes, exacerbating Africa’s largest refugee crisis, according to the report published last Thursday.

All parties to the conflict have committed rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law, said the report by Global Rights Compliance.
