GENEVA - Mia Farrow says her third trip to the Central African Republic as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF has her convinced that it's a failed state on the verge of genocide.
The actress and activist says the government is "useless," the world isn't paying enough attention and she believes "the seeds are present for a genocide," echoing the assessment of U.N. officials.
Farrow told reporters Thursday in Geneva after a weeklong trip to the country that it has "an abandoned population, because the world has looked away."
U.N. officials say the nation, one of the world's poorest with a long history of chaos and coups, has been collapsing since rebel groups joined forces to overthrow the president in March and put their leader in charge.
