Central African Republic held its first general election in three decades amid elevated political stability and civil unrest risks.

I spoke to Deutsche Welle news about the presidential frontrunners, how the incumbent Touadéra has overseen constitutional changes and peace deals with rebels to legitimise his third term and why tackling insecurity will remain critical to CAR's economic development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TBC84m6wwU

@beverly_ochieng Hi Bev, Thanks for posting. Will Wagner object to outside companies such as the Canadian one being given mining concessions?

@alcinoe Hey Elizabeth and happy 2026! There is a way they compartmentalise their concessions. As long as they are getting what they need, they are likely to stay out of the way of other operators.

@beverly_ochieng Happy New Year to you, too! I guess that means they won't be leaving any time soon.
