Central African Republic

Discover Central African Republic

Centuries ago, the region now known as the Central African Republic was home to various indigenous groups and mighty kingdoms like the Kanem-Bornu Empire. These kingdoms thrived, their wealth built upon trade routes that crisscrossed the African continent.

The arrival of European colonial powers in the late 19th century brought profound change. The region fell under French colonial rule, forming part of French Equatorial Africa. This era left its mark, shaping borders and leaving behind a complex legacy.

Independence came in 1960, and the Central African Republic embarked on a tumultuous journey marked by political challenges and social change. A series of coups and conflicts punctuated its path, as it grappled with the challenges of nationhood.

The CAR's recent history has been marred by conflict and humanitarian crises, including a series of civil wars and violence between different armed groups. These challenges have strained its social fabric and economy. As you traverse this land today, from its dense rainforests to vast savannas, you'll encounter a resilient nation struggling to find stability and unity.
