If things stay stable a lot of us prolly gon repatriate and help with the boom. My uncle gave up his job as a Doctor in NYC to build a hospital and my other uncles opening businesses. Hell, even my mom on her way back in a few days to talk business on some inheritance. The thing I'm hoping for is that the prosperity reaches everyone, we take this chance to further industrialize(My fam knows a few people with factories out there), and this isn't used as an excuse to trample on other groups traditions and lifestyles.

My version

'Yo / Case you aint know, i go by the name of / E.M, and im from / *africa africa * / Home of the Pemba & Mafia islands im from the Eastside/ *africa africa* '

• So what you know about drag racing one another using a stick & a bicycle/ car tire down the road or using coiled wire to model a toy car & cutting out round shapes in old slippers to make the wheels for it! What you know about bundling plastic bags & elastic rubber to make a football you can play with on an unfinished construction site (our pitch) in the slums of Africa!

• What you know about catching that malaria plus wave or dealing with typhoid & cholera 2-3 times a year atleast..!

• What you know about breeding/ keeping several pidgeons on some Tyson flex in a wooden home made birdhouse built...thanks to Kalumanzila (RIP local o.g)the carpenter down the road.

• What you know about eating Ugali, Mchicha na daga (type of fish) 3-4 times a week & your eyes lighting up at the sight of a rare treat i.e chicken, icecream, juice etc.

• what you know about pushing a Mkokoteni for spare pocket money on your weekends so you could go afford them sweets & ICE COLD DRINK & savour & taste every ingredient in that biitch under the beating sun....

France is to send hundreds more troops to the Central African Republic (CAR), a former colony racked by violence in the aftermath of this year's coup by the Séléka militias. The projected presence of over 1,000 will make it possible to pacify the capital, Bangui, but not the rest of the country, analysts suggest.

Apart from Mali, where its troops led an operation that wrested the north from Islamist and Tuareg separatist rebels, France has a military presence in Côte d'Ivoire, Chad and Gabon, and some of them will now being seeing action in the CAR.

Alll these countries are former French colonies, and were part of the sphere of influence, known as Françafrique, where Paris intervened to support or topple heads of states according to its own interests.

So is this the return of Françafrique?

No or, at least, not yet, says Wednesday's editorial in the centrist Le Monde newspaper, although it neglects to mention that French nuclear giant Areva mines uranium in the south-eastern Mbomou region.

François Hollande's government refused to intervene to save former president François Bozizé - "corrupt, autocratic and nepotist" - when Séléka toppled him in March, leaving it to neighbouring countries, led by Chad and Congo, to send an intervention force, Le Monde points out.

But the new president Michel Djotodia turned out to have no control over the forces that had brought him to power, which were in fact a coalition of various armed groups, some of whose fighters came from neighbouring countries.

They have turned to pillaging, robbing and terrorising the population, giving rise to the formation of anti-Séléka militas, the anti-Balaka.

Since then "a non-religious conflict has taken a strong confessional turn", analyst Thibault Lesueur of the International Crisis Group has told RFI.

Séléka militias have attacked Christian civilians, especially in the north, and anti-Balaka reprisals have targeted Muslims, prompting the UN and the US to warn of the danger of genocide.

United delegations of Catholic, Protestant and Muslim leaders last week visited the area to try to calm the growing sectarianism and this week they have returned with three government ministers, accompanied by police and about 100 troops from the African intervention force.

In Bangui itself kidnappings, murders and robberies are almost daily occurences and restoring calm there seems to be the French priority.

The planned 1,200 French troops along with other international troops already there should be sufficient for that task, Lesueur believes, but the 3,600-strong planned international force will not be enough to restore order throughout the whole country.

The intervention will be "compeletely different" to that in Mali, he warns, where there was a clearly identified enemy.

"Where not in a peace-keeping context here," Lesueur says. "The're no peace to keep. What has to be done is to fight bandits, brigands and avoid these conflicts degenerating."

the AU isn't doing enough

@mbewane

Agreed, the AU ain't doing shyt at all. It's the same as in Mali: there is a clear mandate for African troops to be sent, but they are still nowhere to be seen. Reinforcements should have arrived a long time ago, because the current (african and french) troops in Bangui and countryside are def not enough. But those african troops are still not there. I see the same pseudo-africanists who were against France intervening in Mali being against them intervening in CAR. And it's the same answer I got for them: I'd rather have a French professionnal army in my country than Chadian and Sudanese pseudo-islamist mercenaries roaming around, pillaging, raping and randomly executing Central Africans.

Islamist ? This isn't Mali, nothing has been reported to show they have any goals tied to Islam. They just happen to be a mostly Muslim rebel group. This has way more in common with CIV's conflict where the opposite sides were split between religious demographics although the conflict was not religious.

Also this is Africa breh the people in the Northeast of your country have a common culture and are often same ethnic groups as people in Chad/Sudan. How do you know whether they are foreigners or not? This reminds me of Ivorians claiming the Northerners were all Burkinabe/Malian etc.
