A rights organization is calling on African governments to address the widespread displacement, killings and other forms of rights abuses and violations triggered by several conflicts across the continent.

Human Rights Watch made this known in its new report that summarizes human rights trends in 23 African countries.

The Head of the group for Africa said the population in many of the African countries experiencing conflict is caught up and has nowhere to turn.

As Maty Sy reports, political, religious and social intolerance have also increased, according to human rights researchers.
