-the Central African Republic is a landlocked country in ‘Central Africa’-
.
(it is bordered by ‘Chad’ to the north, ‘Sudan’ to the northeast, ‘South Sudan’ to the east, the ‘Democratic Republic of the Congo’ to the south, the ‘Republic of the Congo’ to the southwest and ‘Cameroon’ to the west)
(the ‘CAR’ covers a land area of about 620,000 square kilometres (240,000 sq mi) and had an estimated population of around 4.7 million as of 2014)
(most of the ‘CAR’ consists of ‘Sudano-Guinean’ ‘savannas’, but the country also includes a ‘Sahelo-Sudanian’ zone in the north and an ‘equatorial forest zone’ in the south)
(2/3 of the country is within the ‘Ubangi River’ basin (which flows into the ‘Congo’), while the remaining third lies in the basin of the ‘Chari’, which flows into ‘Lake Chad’)
(what is today the ‘Central African Republic’ has been inhabited for millennia; however, the country’s current borders were established by ‘France’, which ruled the country as a colony starting in the late 19th century)
(after gaining independence from ‘France’ in 1960, the ‘Central African Republic’ was ruled by a series of ‘autocratic leaders’; by the 1990s, calls for ‘democracy’ led to the first ‘multi-party democratic elections’ in 1993)
(‘Ange-Félix Patassé’ became ‘president’, but was later removed by ‘General François Bozizé’ in the ‘2003 coup’)
(the ‘Central African Republic Bush War’ began in 2004 and, despite a ‘peace treaty’ in 2007 and another in 2011, fighting broke out between various factions in ‘December 2012’, leading to ‘ethnic’ and ‘religious cleansing’ of the ‘Muslim’ minority and massive ‘population displacement’ in ‘2013’ and ‘2014’)
(despite its significant mineral deposits and other resources, such as ‘uranium reserves’, ‘crude oil’, ‘gold’, ‘diamonds’, ‘cobalt’, ‘lumber’, and ‘hydropower’, as well as significant quantities of ‘arable land’, the ‘Central African Republic’ is among the “10 poorest countries in the world”)
(as of 2015, according to the ‘Human Development Index’ (HDI), the country had the lowest level of human development, ranking 188th out of 188 countries)
