The Central African Republic (CAR; Sango: Ködörösêse tî Bêafrîka; French: République centrafricaine pronounced: [ʁepyblik sɑ̃tʁafʁikɛn], or Centrafrique [sɑ̃tʀafʁik]) is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Chad to the north, Sudan to the northeast, South Sudan to the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo to the south and Cameroon to the west. The CAR covers a land area of about 620,000 square kilometres (240,000 sq mi) and had an estimated population of around 4.7 million as of 2014.
Most of the CAR consists of Sudano-Guinean savannas, but the country also includes a Sahelo-Sudanian zone in the north and an equatorial forest zone in the south. Two thirds of the country is within the Ubangi River basin (which flows into the Congo), while the remaining third lies in the basin of the Chari, which flows into Lake Chad.
What is today the Central African Republic has been inhabited for millennia; however, the country's current borders were established by France, which ruled the country as a colony starting in the late 19th century. After gaining independence from France in 1960, the Central African Republic was ruled by a series of autocratic leaders; by the 1990s, calls for democracy led to the first multi-party democratic elections in 1993. Ange-Félix Patassé became president, but was later removed by General François Bozizé in the 2003 coup. The Central African Republic Bush War began in 2004 and, despite a peace treaty in 2007 and another in 2011, fighting broke out between various factions in December 2012, leading to ethnic and religious cleansing of the Muslim minority and massive population displacement in 2013 and 2014.

Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News The Central African Republic's capital of Bangui has seen its Muslim population drop from 130,000 to under 1000 over the past few months. Over the past year, thousands across CAR have been killed and nearly a million have been displaced. The United Nations recently stated that the entire Western half of the country has now been cleansed of Muslims. CAR has never fully recovered from France's colonial rule, and it has only known ten years of a civilian government - from 1993 to 2003 - since achieving independence in 1960. Coup after coup, often with French military involvement, has led many to refer to the country as a phantom state. The current conflict has now completely erased the rule of law and order, and left the UN a...

In 2013, a Muslim rebel group named the Seleka led a coup in the Central African Republic (CAR), overthrowing the Christian President Francois Bozize and bringing the country into an ethno-religious civil war. Later that year, VICE News traveled to the CAR to cover the conflict which has left over 5,000 dead and nearly a million displaced. Due to the combination of the upcoming February presidential election, the looming exit of French peacekeeping forces, and the total handover to the MINUSCA United Nations troops, the situation in the CAR is extremely fragile. With the conflict entering its third year, questions remain about how to quell the violence, which the UN describes as "The Silent Crisis." VICE News returned to the CAR in 2014 to further document the ongoing conflict and to mee...
Unabated violence between Christians and Muslims has plagued the Central African Republic since a coup by Seleka fighters to overthrow former president, Francois Bozize in March 2013. Thousands of Muslims have fled Bangui during the past several months to escape killing, looting and harassment by the anti-balaka Christian militia. The brutalities began to escalate when the country's first Muslim leader, Michel Djotodia, stepped down and went into exile last month. The French government has dispatched thousands of troops to the country, but they have appeared to be unable to prevent inter-communal clashes that erupted after Christian militias attacked the mostly Muslim Seleka group. Thousands are dead and nearly one million are displaced, in a country of only 4.5 million people. The United ...
In early 2013 Central Africa exploded into violence. As Seleka, the rebel group took power from the north, French forces arrived to oust the Seleka president, but order did not return to the country. Conditions deteriorate as Christians blamed the entire Muslim community for Seleka crimes and sought revenge. This resulted in the displacement of tens of thousands of Muslims who fled in fear of their lives. And the remaining Muslim population fears genocide. But how did this war rapidly become what many are now calling a religious war? And how is it that the only party profiting is neither the Muslims, nor the Christian but rather the old colonial masters, i.e., the French. PRESS TV Documentaries
Subscribe to BBC News www.youtube.com/bbcnews Is the Central African Republic now a permanently fractured state, divided along religious lines? Some reports have described the situation in CAR as one in which genocide could easily break out. A BBC team has been there, against a backdrop of continuing violence between Christian and Muslim militias, to assess the situation on the ground, and how effectively the peacekeeping forces deployed there are holding apart the two rival armed groups. Outside the capital Bangui there's mostly no infrastructure – no covered roads, no running water, no sanitation, no electricity. We recorded our progress along the way.

United Nations - The Central African Republic is a small country in the midst of an almost forgotten crisis. It’s a nation consumed by violence, hatred and instability. But human rights campaigners are striving to change the course of the country’s history. UN in Action, Episode #1488 Script (Pdf): http://www.un.org/webcast/pdfs/unia1488escript.pdf
They went to the airport when the massacres began. Residents of Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, knew that French soldiers were stationed at Bangui M'Poko International Airport. And so when the latest round of fighting in the city began last week, they fled to the airport, hoping the soldiers would offer them protection. We landed at M'Poko five days later. The sectarian fighting that has led CAR, one of the poorest countries in the world, to the brink of collapse began last March when Michel Djotodia and his loose rebel alliance (known as the Séléka) stormed Bangui and ousted President François Bozizé. Djotodia appointed himself president and tried to integrate the Séléka into the armed forces, but it didn't work. Even Djotodia admitted that he didn't have control ov...

The Monkey Island, the second district of Bangui in the Central African Republic has no toilets and suffers from dire hygienic conditions despite a recent cholera outbreak. According to Oxfam, a Non-Governmental Organisation in the region, the sanitary conditions on the island are likely to spread the disease. "Sanitary inspections have shown that they have no water to drink. They take water from the river to drink. They have no latrines and they have no knowledge of basic hygiene," said Oxfa… READ MORE : http://www.africanews.com/2016/09/21/central-african-republic-s-monkey-island-dire-sanitation-conditions Africanews is a new pan-African media pioneering multilingual and independent news telling expertise in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Athletes from the North Central and Central East regions gathered at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for just five spots in each division of the CrossFit Games. On the women’s side, redemption was a common theme. Stacie Tovar and Lindy Barber were looking to qualify after missing out in 2014, and Nicole Holcomb, Elisabeth Akinwale and Shelia Barden had goals of getting back to Carson, California, yet again. And one young rookie was just hoping to make a splash. Brooke Wells did just that by winning Event 1—Randy—in a record time of 2:21.6, then going on to win the regional. Perhaps the most devastating and inspirational moments came from four-time CrossFit Games competitor Julie Foucher. After suffering an Achilles tear in Event 3, she completed as much of th...

On 19 August 2016, Banco de la República started circulating the new $50 thousand peso banknote, the third of the new family of banknotes. This banknote will circulate simultaneously with the current ones. This ticket pays tribute to Nobel Laureate in Literature Gabriel Garcia Marquez, in compliance with Article 5 of Act 1741 of 2014 by the Congress of Colombia. It also exalts the terraces of the Lost City and the images of two indigenous people and some houses belonging to the Tayrona culture.
