Al Jazeera: CAR's Bangui tense as communal strife kills scores
Sporadic gunfire and looting reported in the capital as government says clashes are aimed at derailing elections.
Renewed violence between Muslim and Christian communities in the Central African Republic has killed at least 36 people and wounded at least 80 more, according to hospital workers.
Sporadic gunfire could be heard in the capital, Bangui, on Monday, with journalists also citing multiple reports of widespread looting in the city, suggesting that tensions that began on Saturday had yet to subside.
On Sunday, Doctors without Borders (MSF) said in a statement that their teams working in the city's Mpoko camp, Castor hospital and Hopital General had been pressed to activate mass-casualty plans to cope with an influx of the injured.
