Al Jazeera has uncovered evidence that armed forces in the Central African Republic were responsible for a massacre that took place on October 26, a few kilometres from the centre of the town of Bouar.
Eighteen people were killed in the incident, the youngest victim just two weeks old.
Landlocked CAR - a nation of 4.6 million people - has slipped into chaos since a coalition of fighters named Seleka took control of the capital, Bangui, and deposed President Francois Bozize in March this year.
Human rights organisations estimate that thousands of people have been killed amid the deterioraring security situation.
Michel Djotodia, the Seleka leader, has claimed himself president of CAR.
He announced on September 14 that the Seleka alliance had been dissolved after it was blamed for a wave of violence. However, attacks have continued throughout the country.
In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri in Bangui, Djotodia has admitted that Seleka fighters do not follow his orders.
