Summary:

The Central African Republic is a landlocked country. Human settlement in the Central African Republic dates back to 8,000 years ago. The Aka (Pygmy) peoples in the western and southern forests are believed to be the earliest inhabitants. The Dar al-Kuti slave empire governed the northern region until the late 1800s when the Central African Republic was colonized by France. Post-independence political tensions persisted due to colonial rulers’ preferential treatment of certain ethnic groups. In the late 20th century, neighbouring interethnic civil wars and attempted coups posed a threat to the democratic system of the country, following a period of civil unrest and dictatorship, including the notorious reign of the self-proclaimed Emperor Bokassa I, who changed the country’s name to the Central African Empire. The regional adage suggests that the grass is adversely affected both during conflicts and during the amorous activities of elephants.
