The Central African Republic sits at the geographic heart of Africa — yet for decades, it has remained trapped in cycles of coups, rebellions, foreign intervention, and resource-driven violence.
In this episode, we trace the full historical arc of CAR’s civil wars, from pre-colonial slave raiding and French extraction, through post-independence coups, the Séléka and Anti-Balaka collapse, UN and French interventions, Russia and Wagner’s rise, and the latest phase of privatized conflict governance.
This is not a story of random chaos.
It is a story of how violence became a system.
We examine:
📌 Why independence produced instability rather than sovereignty
📌How armed groups replaced the state across vast rural areas
📌 The role of France, the UN, regional powers, and Russia
📌 How elections trigger war instead of peace
📌 Why civilians remain the primary victims
📌 And why peace agreements repeatedly fail
This episode explains why the Central African Republic is not a failed state by accident — but by design, shaped by extraction, exclusion, and foreign interests.
🎧 Watch to understand how modern African conflicts are sustained — not just fought.
