Coups and dictatorships have characterized the Central African Republic since its independence in 1960, but the current crisis is far more dangerous than what has come before. Consider this, in a country of approximately 5 million people, roughly 1.1 million citizens face serious food insecurity. Some 460,000 CAR nationals are displaced, including 64,000 who have fled to neighboring countries as refugees and nearly 400,000 who are internally displaced. This is because there has been a complete breakdown of law and order in the country following the ouster of President Francois Bozize in March of 2013.Crisis in the Central African RepublicPolitical violenceCentral African RepublicPolitics and governmentUnited StatesForeign relationsCentral African RepublicPolitical violence.303.6Arieff Alexis1242603Husted Tomas F.Library of Congress.Congressional Research Service,NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910708253703321Crisis in the Central African Republic3542417UNINA
