Motorcycle cabs and poverty reduction in Bangui, Central African Republic

Mehr zum Buch

The narrative centers on the rise of the Séléka coalition, formed by Central African diplomat Michel Djotodja, which led to the ousting of President François Bozizé and plunged the country into chaos. Amidst rampant violence and civilian casualties, a youth-led militia called Anti-Bal'Aka emerged to combat the rebels. Armed with rudimentary weapons, they engaged in conflict while capitalizing on war spoils to invest in informal transport businesses. This development has inadvertently created safety hazards for urban populations due to increased motorcycle accidents.
