The Central African Republic will be given 12,000 peacekeepers by the United Nations Security Council as terrifying levels of violence reaches the brim, according to local reports.

With French and African Union forces getting overwhelmed with the difficult task of handling the violence, the Security Council has unanimously agreed to the mission of supporting them, ABC reported.

Violence between Christians and Muslims militias has been increasing, which has prompted the U.S. to warn the Central African Republic of the country turning into the next Rwanda.

The framework to finding a definite solution will be created through the peacekeeping mission, the country's foreign minister said after the UN vote.

According to ABC, contributing countries have not been identified and the mission will not be deployed until September despite the rising threat.

"The mainly Muslim Seleka seized power a year ago, perpetrating abuses on the majority Christian population that triggered waves of revenge attacks, leading to thousands of deaths and displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians," ABC reported. "Killings have continued in the impoverished country of 4.6 million people despite the presence of 2,000 French troops and African Union forces."

Although an 800-strong European Union force is set to begin deploying in May, the violence could turn into genocide, top UN officials have warned.

When Christian militia forces, known as the Anti-balaka, attacked a rural town held by Seleka rebels, at least 13 people were killed, residents said.

The "state of anarchy" in the country has "overwhelmed" the French and African soldiers serving in the Central African Republic, Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary-general, said during a brief visit to the capital Bangui last week.

The country has been brought "to the edge of disaster" due to the violence, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, who visited Bangui on Wednesday for the second time, said.

"Untold horrors continue in small villages throughout the countryside and more than 19,000 Muslims are trapped in the capital, too afraid of Anti-balaka forces to leave their hiding places," Power said.
