      Then-President of France Valery Giscard d'Estaing was very friendly w/Bokassa, but France's foreign ministry hated him and felt, rightly, that it was a total embarrassment for France to be supporting this monster. They argued for years to d'Estaing to cut ties with him. D'Estaing finally listened when Bokassa personally beat to death a teenage protester against his rule. Incidentally, the protest was over the fact that he required all schoolchildren to wear uniforms sold by a company owned by his wife at exorbitant prices.

      @firstnamelastname-uw6vq 4 роки тому +1

      The problem are the borders tbh. So many ethnic groups in countries descended from administrative divisions of once upon the time colonies. It's like the Balkans but if all Balkan countries are one republic, bunch of ethnicities, one spark and you have bunch of rebels pushing for more power, fighting each other, foreign powers selling weapons to people who barely have water or food and a powerless republic barely existing only due to support of outside powers. I think the only solution is a radical one, but redrawing the borders. Village by village, town by town. Establishing countries with identities and with western democratic type of government. Otherwise the only thing we'll see in the future for some African countries is civil wars, rebellions and people struggling. I mean their gdp is like 2 billion for a country with like 5 million people. It's sad. Also has many resources. Either strong government to bring order to the country and embrace all ethnicities into the government or balkanization of every rump states in Africa.

    Nostalgia for dictators and sultanistic rulers. We see that in many parts of the world. In recent years there's even nostalgia for Middle Eastern dictators - Saddam Hussain, Moammar Qaddafi, Hosni Mubarak, etc. People always yearn for a "golden past" that is seen to be much better than the chaotic, mediocre, and corrupt present. CAR today is drenched in civil war between Christians and Muslims. It is natural I suppose for the simple people there to look back to a Muslim self-proclaimed emperor who was enthroned and crowned in a Roman Catholic cathedral with a Roman Catholic cardinal present.
