Central African Republic

In less than two months’ time, the world will be marking the 20th anniversary of the worst genocide seen in Africa since the end of colonialism -- the Rwanda pogrom that began on 6 April 1994.

ABSTRACT

By the end of 2013, ‘the White man’s burden’ was proving too heavy to bear for France.

France, as a country exhausted by German colonial rule during the 1938-1945 war, still dreamed of a world in which there was ‘permanent exclusion of self-government of the African territories’ she exploited as occupied lands. The 1944 Declaration made from Brazzaville in Congo said so.

Is the coup d’état which ushered President Francois Bozizé of Central African Republic’s overthrow yet another Libya or Ivory Coast? All signs point to a ‘Yes’ answer to this question.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF?

Recent events in the Central African Republic (CAR) provides a test-case for the future of the continent and the role of imperialist governments in their ongoing interventions into the internal affairs of various nation-states.
