Central African Republic declares emergency as rebels surround Bangui
The Central African Republic (CAR) has declared a state of emergency as the army and UN forces try to repel advancing rebel groups who want to overthrow the government.
The anti-government fighters, who now control two-thirds of the country, have surrounded the capital, Bangui.
The UN envoy to CAR has warned the country was "at grave risk."
The rebels dispute the validity of President Faustin Archange Touadéra's re-election in last month's poll.
