The city of Bangui is the political and economic center of the Central African Republic and is located on the Ubangi River, the natural border in the southwest with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.


Bangui has been in the headlines for years, as there have always been fights and occupations here. The country has been suffering for years from the fighting of government forces and the rebels, some of which have broken up. At the end of 2013, France, as the country’s former colonial power, sent troops to Bangui to protect important places such as the airport. Probably, the situation in the capital, and especially in the north of the country, is confusing for the next few years.
