Economic and budgetary difficulties, insecurity, accusations of bad governance, and desire for a third presidential term: are the ingredients of the fall of François Bozizé, president of the Central African Republic from 2003 to 2013, still relevant ten years later in CAR?
Just 10 years ago, the Seleka rebellion overthrew François Bozizé and seized power in the Central African Republic. The end of several years of conflict, but also the beginning of a new cycle of violence whose consequences continue to be felt today. In Bangui, many believe that the ingredients of the 2012-2013 crisis are still present today.
Civil society and opponents of President Faustin-Archange Touadéra do not hesitate to draw parallels. Economic and budgetary difficulties, insecurity, accusations of bad governance, and desire for a third presidential term: the causes of the fall of François Bozizé, like Ange-Félix Patassé before him, are still there, according to the former Prime Minister of transition in 2013, Nicolas Tiangaye.
