    SMALL ARMS: A REGIONAL TINDERBOX A REGIONAL ARMS: SMALL AND REPUBLIC AFRICAN THE CENTRAL Small Arms Survey By Eric G. Berman with Louisa N. Lombard Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies 47 Avenue Blanc, 1202 Geneva, Switzerland p +41 22 908 5777 f +41 22 732 2738 e [email protected] w www.smallarmssurvey.org THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC AND SMALL ARMS A REGIONAL TINDERBOX ‘ The Central African Republic and Small Arms is the most thorough and carefully researched G. Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996.

  • The Central African Republic
    Order Code RS22751 November 2, 2007 The Central African Republic Ted Dagne Specialist in African Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary In March 2003, a rebellion led by former Army Chief of Staff Francois Bozize ousted President Ange Patasse from power. In 2005, the Bozize government organized presidential and legislative elections. In May 2005, Bozize defeated former Prime Minster Martin Ziguele and his ruling party won 42 out of the 105 seats in the National Assembly. The Central African Republic (CAR) has been impacted by the crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan and suffers from internal rebellion. Fighting between rebel groups and government forces has displaced more than 70,000 people in northeastern CAR. In September 2007, the European Union approved the deployment of a 4,000 man peacekeeping force to Chad and CAR. This report will not be updated. Background The Central African Republic (CAR), a landlocked country of 4.3 million people, became independent in 1960. David Dacko became the first President under a one-party system. On December 31, 1965, Dacko was ousted from power in a military coup led by his cousin, Colonel Jean-Bedel Bokassa. In 1966, Bokassa dissolved the legislature and rescinded the Constitution. In 1972, Bokassa became “Life President” and later named himself “Marshall of the Republic.” In December 1976, Bokassa renamed the CAR the Central African Empire and later had himself crowned emperor in a lavish ceremony attended by thousands of guests. Human rights violations and rumors of bizarre practices helped prepare the way for Bokassa's 1979 ouster by David Dacko in a coup backed by French troops.

  • The Central African Republic As a Fragile (Failed) State
    Stosunki Międzynarodowe – International Relations ISSN 0209-0961 nr 2 (t. 52) 2016 doi: 10.7366/020909612201609 The Central African Republic as a Fragile (Failed) State Wiesław Lizak University of Warsaw During its 65-year history, the Central African Republic proved to be a country highly susceptible to destabilising processes. Tribalism, corruption, violence and the incompetence of the ruling elite have become immanent elements of the political system, leading to a gradual decomposition of the state and its evolution towards a dysfunctional (‘failed’) state, unable to perform its basic external and internal functions. The civil war that engulfed the country in 2013 was a consequence of political, social and economic conflicts that had been accumulating for many years. In this article, the author sets himself the task of identifying the main factors (internal and external) leading to the destabilisation of the state as well as the sources of contradictions that lay at the root of this process. Accumulation of negative trends along with low levels of socio-economic development at the moment of gaining independence and the inability to initiate modernisation processes, as well as the existence of negative international interrelations (conflicts in the immediate international neighbourhood) led to a crisis of statehood in the CAR. Keywords: Central African Republic, dysfunctional state, failed state, fragile state, ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, African Union, Economic Community of Central African States The Central African Republic (CAR) joined the community of sovereign African states on 13 August 1960, when it gained independence from France. Since the end of the 19th century, the territory of today’s CAR formed part of French Equatorial Africa and was known under the name Ubangi-Shari.

It was during this time that Japanese official and popular interest in the region reached its peak. Fueling the Japanese attraction and investment in this region were numerous romanticized images of Manchuria’s bounty and space, issued to bolster enthusiasm for Japanese occupation and development of the region. I examine the Japanese visual production of a utopian Manchuria during the 1930s and early 1940s through a variety of interrelated media and spatial constructions: graphic magazines, photography, exhibition spaces, and urban planning.

Gribbin 1993-1995 Ambassador JOHN HOWARD BURNS Ambassador (1961-1963) Ambassador John H. Burns was born and raised in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. He attended the University of Oklahoma and entered the Foreign Service in 1942. His career included positions in Mexico, France, Brazil, ambassadorships to the Central African Republic and Tanzania, and Director General of the Foreign Service. Ambassador Burns was interviewed on May 1, 1995 by Charles Stuart Kennedy. BURNS: Whether it did or not I did succeed Bill and had been Political Counselor less than a year when I was appointed Ambassador to the Central African Republic. The Berlin Wall had just been built, the Adenauer government had been forced into one of coalition and Germany was, at least to me, the most fascinating place in the world. And--not without a lot of effort I might say--I had finally become fairly proficient in the use of German whereas the remains of my French had become rusty to the point of uselessness. All of which might explain, if not excuse, the ill grace with which I moved from Bonn to Bangui. Nevertheless, the longer I was at Bangui the more I enjoyed it, something I can say, as a matter of fact, about every Foreign Service assignment I had except those in the Department of State.
