The Central African Republic (Sango Ködörösêse tî Bêafrîka) is a landlocked country in Central Africa. The landlocked location, inadequate transport infrastructure and a lack of qualified workers made the country’s economic development difficult even during the colonial era, and with independence came corruption and political instability.
The reign of terror by Emperor Bokassa (1965-1979) was followed by a military dictatorship. Although democracy was restored in 1993, there is no political stability and there have been a number of coups. Since the overthrow of President Bozizé in March 2013, the Central African Republic has seen another wave of violence. Their state structures have now almost completely disappeared. Neither the transitional government nor international missions succeed in stabilizing the country.
The Central African Republic is one of the poorest countries in the world and has almost no infrastructure. The standard of living of the population is extremely low.
Travel throughout the Central African Republic involves significant risks. There is a risk of violent crime (kidnapping, looting, street robbery) and of military action across the country. Following attacks, the Republic of Cameroon has partially closed border crossings temporarily. For security reasons, Bangui Airport may be closed to civilian air traffic at short notice.
