The civil war in the Central African Republic and its international dimensions

Abstract

The Central African Republic enjoys important natural resources, at the forefront of which are diamonds, gold, uranium, oil, and others. Now, due to military coups, the large number of insurgencies led by armed groups, which have fueled and exacerbated the societal division, and the absence of a political leadership capable of accommodating all components of the people, eliminating discrimination, exclusion and marginalization, as well as the quest of the ruling elites and influential groups to monopolize natural resources for their own interests. The rebellion led by the Seleka group in 2012 led to the outbreak of a civil war in 2013, and its repercussions are still continuing, and the grave violations that accompanied the war prompted the intervention of the international community from international organizations and major powers to reach peace agreements that end A state of internal war, to achieve peace and stability, or to achieve their interests.
