#Centrafrique 🇨🇫: Lors d'une attaque contre un convoi de la MINUSCA près de Batangafo (Nord de la #RCA), nos Casques bleus ont riposté en légitime défense, contraignant les assaillants à prendre la fuite.

Hate speech can take many forms. But no matter what it looks like, it has real consequences.

Each of us can take action and say #NoToHate.

Thursday is the International Day for Countering Hate Speech.
