Histoire Article: History of the Central African Republic Pre-histoireEntre about 1000 BC and 1000 AD, Adamawa-Eastern peoples common language of Cameroon east to Sudan and settled in most of the territory of the car. At the same time, a much smaller number of Bantu-speaking immigrants in southwestern CAR and had some medium-speaking Sudanese population living along the Oubangui rivers. Most people in the car and speak languages Adamawa East or Bantu languages belong to the Niger-Congo family. A minority speak Central Sudanic languages of the Nilo-Saharan family. More recent immigrants include many Muslim merchants, who speak most often in Arabic or Hausa. Exposure to the world extérieurJusqu’au early 1800s, the peoples of the car lived beyond the boundaries expand Islam in the Sudan zone of Africa and thus had relatively little contact with Abrahamic religions or northern economies. In the first decades of the nineteenth century, however, began to Muslim traders, to penetrate more and to maintain more in the area of the CAR and special relations with local leaders to facilitate their trading and settlement systems in the immediate vicinity “Muslim traders first time in the early 1800s arrived, was relatively peaceful and depended on the support of the local population, but after the slave traders in 1850, with well-armed soldiers entrance began in this area. between C. 1860 and 1910, slave traders from Sudan, Chad, Cameroon, Dar al -Kuti in Northern and CAR Nzakara Zande States and in southeastern CAR exports a large proportion of the population of the car, a region with very few inhabitants today. françaisArticle detailed colonialism: Ubangi-Shari began in ChariOubangui 1910pénétration European Central African region in the late nineteenth century during the so-called Scramble for Africa (18,751,900 c.). Savorgnan Count de Brazza took the lead in establishing the French Congo with headquarters in the city that its name, Brazzaville, bears, and sent expeditions to the Ubangi in the interests, rights of France in the field expand Central Africa. King Leopold II of Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom also attended the preparation of their claims to the territory of the African region centrale.En 1889, French was the one place on the Ubangi to Bangui, the future capital of Ubangi-Shari and the car. De Brazza, then sent 189,091 shipments with the Sangha River in what is now south-western CAR, the center of the Ubangi basin toward Lake Chad, and eastward along the Ubangi, the Nil. De Brazza and procolonial in France wanted the borders of the French Congo to expand in order to establish links with the French territories in West Africa, North Africa and East Africa. In 1894, the Congo’s borders with the French State of Leopold II, the Congo and the Free German Cameroon were fixed by diplomatic agreements. Then in 1899 the French Congo border with Sudan has been fixed along the Congo-Nile, so that France without his coveted outlet on the Nile and south turn Ubangi-Shari in a dead-end de-sac.Une Once European negotiators had agreed on the banks of the French Congo France to decide how to pay for the costly occupation, administration and development planning. The financial success of the concessionaires of Leopold II . believe in the Congo Free State, that the government to implement in the 1899-17 French private companies large concessions in the Ubangi-Shari region. In return, the right to use these countries by buying local products and selling European goods, promised companies rent to pay the colonial state and to promote the development of their concessions. European companies and African officials who have often used force to extremely violent and cruel methods of Central Africans to work for them. At the same time began the colonial administration to force the French Central Africans to pay taxes and provide the state with the free labor. The companies and French administration often collaborated in their efforts to force Central Africans to work for themselves, but they were often in French désaccord.Certains Officials reported possess abuse by private militias and even by their colleagues and colonial troops, but efforts to bring these criminals to justice have failed, almost always. arrived When the news of atrocities committed against Central Africans by concessionary staff and colonial officials or troops in France is committed and caused an uproar, there were investigations and some feeble attempts to reform, but the situation on the ground in Ubangi-Shari remained essentially the même.Timbre 1924Dans of the interval, during the first decade of French colonial rule (ca. 19,001,910 ), the leaders of African countries in the region of Ubangi-Shari increased looting of their activities of slaves and their sale of local products to European companies and the colonial state. your contracts used by the French, more weapons that are used by more slaves captured and buy much of the eastern half of Ubangi-Shari were felt as a result of the export depopulated Central Africans by local leaders during the first decade of colonial rule. Those who had power, Africans and Europeans, which often made life difficult for those who have not the strength to résister.Au in the second decade of the colonial period (about 19,101,920), the armed personnel of the colonial state and private companies continue to use brutal methods to handle a lot of local populations who resisted forced labor, but the power of local African rulers was destroyed and the slave raids was then decreased thoroughly. In 1911, Sangha and Lobaye basin to Germany were established through an agreement that France had a free hand in Morocco and so Western Ubangi-Shari under German rule until ceded the First World War in which France reconquered this territory by central forces africaines.La third decade of colonial rule (19201930) was a period of transition, in which a network of roads was built, cultures were funded pension, mobile health services have been trained to to fight against sleeping sickness, and were Protestant mission stations established in different parts of the country. New forms of forced labor also introduced, however, that the French confiscated large numbers of Ubangians at the Railway Congo-Ocean, and many of them work recruits died of exhaustion maladie.En and published in 1925, the writer André Gide, French Voyage au Congo in which he described the alarming consequences of conscription for the Congo-Ocean railway and exposed the continuing atrocities against Africans in Central Western Ubangi-Shari committed employees of the Agency for Forestry of the Sangha-Oubangui, for example. In 1928, a major uprising, the handle of the Congo War Wara “the hoe” broke out in Western Ubangi-Shari and lasted several years. The extent of this insurrection, perhaps the greatest anti-colonial rebellion in Africa during the two world wars, was carefully concealed from the French public, because evidence presented, again strong opposition to colonial rule and French forcé.Au as working during the fourth decade of colonial rule (c. 19.30194 million), cotton, tea and coffee cash crops important in the Ubangi-Shari and the mining of diamonds and gold began Seriously. Several cotton companies were granted purchasing monopolies in much of the cotton production and are therefore in a position, the prices paid to farmers fix guarantee of profits for their shareholders . Europeans established coffee plantations and Central Africans also began to cultivate café.Le fifth decade of colonial rule (c. 19,401,950) was characterized by the Second World War and the political reforms that followed in its wake. In September 1940 pro-Gaullist French officers took control of Ubangi-Shari. IndépendanceLe December 1, 1958, the colony of Ubangi-Shari became an autonomous territory within the French Community and took the name of the Central African Republic. The founder and chairman of the Governing Council, Barthlmy Boganda, died in a mysterious plane crash in 1959, just eight days before the last election the colonial period. On August 13, 1960, won in the Central African Republic, its independence and two of his closest aides Boganda Goumba Abel and David Dacko was engaged in a power struggle. With the support of the Franco took power and Dacko was soon arrested Goomba. In 1962 President Dacko had been a State Party unique.Le December 31, 1965 Dacko was by the coup’s Eve of State of Colonel Jean-bdel Bokassa, who suspended the constitution and dissolved the fall National Assembly. President Bokassa declared himself president for life in 1972 and named himself Emperor Bokassa I of the Central African Empire, 4 December 1976. A year later, Emperor Bokassa is crowned in a lavish and expensive ceremony was attended by a majority the world to ridicule. In 1979 France carried out a coup against Bokassa and “restored” Dacko to power. Dacko, in turn, was in a coup by General Andre Kolingba, September 1 1981.Kolingba overthrown suspended the constitution and ruled with a military junta until 1985. He introduced a new constitution in 1986, which was adopted by a national referendum. Membership in his new party, the Rally democracies of Central (DRC) have been on a voluntary basis. In 1987, semi-competitive elections were held in the Parliament and municipal elections were in 1988 instead. Kolingba two main political opponents, Abel Goumba and Ange-Flix Patassé, these elections boycotted because are their parties are not allowed, in 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a pro-democracy concourir.En movement was very active. In May 1990, prompted a letter signed by 253 prominent citizens to convene a national conference, but declined that request Kolingba arrested and pursued several opponents. The pressure from the United States, more reluctantly by France, and a group of countries and organizations represented on the ground called GIBAFOR (USA, France, Germany, Japan, EU, World Bank and UN) finally led to Kolingba agree in principle to free elections in October 1992 to hold, with the assistance of the Office of Electoral Affairs. After under the pretext of alleged irregularities on the election results as an excuse to stay in power to suspend, came under intense pressure from President Kolingba GIBAFOR creation of a “Provisional National Council of Democracy Policy” (Policy Interim National Council) (CNPPR) and a ” joint election commission, which were made up of representatives of all parties politiques.Lorsque elections finally held in 1993, again provided with the assistance of the international community, Ange-Flix Patassé top of the first round and comes fourth after Abel Goumba Kolingba and David Dacko. In the second round, won 53 percent of the vote, while winning Patassé Goumba 45th 6 percent. Most support came from Patassé Gbaya, Kare and Kaba voters in seven prefectures in densely populated northwest, while the Goomba support came mostly from ten least populated prefectures in the south and east. In addition, the party won Patassé Movement for the libration of the Central African People (MLPC) or Movement for the Liberation of Central African People a simple, but not the absolute majority of seats in Parliament, which means Patassé necessary partners coalition.Patass Former President Kolingba relieved of his military rank of general and March 1994, several former ministers charged with various crimes.

Kolingba RDC loudly proclaimed that the government adopted Patassé conduct a witch hunt “against Yakoma.Une new Constitution 28 December 1994 and January 14, 1995 was promulgated, but the Constitution, like those before it does not have much influence on the practice of politics . In 19961997, reflecting a steady decline in public confidence in his erratic behavior were three mutinies against the government Patassé accompanied by widespread destruction of property and the aggravation of ethnic tensions. On January 25, 1997, the Bangui Agreements Peace signed for the deployment of an inter-African military mission, the Inter-African Mission planned to monitor the Bangui Agreements (MISAB). Former President of Mali, Amadou Tour, served as chief mediator and negotiated the entry of former rebels into the government April 7 1997th mission MISAB was later replaced by a force of peace, United Nations, the UN Mission in CAR (MINURCA). has resulted in the 1998 parliamentary elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo Kolingba, won 20 out of 109 seats a comeback, but in 1999, despite the popular anger in urban centers with his corrupt regime won Patassé free elections to the President for a second term to become. 28 May 2001 The rebels stormed the strategic buildings in Bangui fail in a coup attempt. The Chief of the Major Abel Abrou and General Francois N’Djadder Bedaya were killed, but Patassé the lead again in at least 300 soldiers of the rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba of the river in the Democratic Republic of Congo and libyens.À soldiers after the failed coup, militias loyal Patassé on revenge against the rebels in many neighborhoods of the capital Bangui, in the destruction of many houses and actions result in torture and murder of many opponents came.
