No, not in Bongolesia, though it reads like a report from there.

Usually, when I'd read a report like this, it would be followed with the name of the country as well, but apparently CAR is the name of it.

Anyway, possibly good fodder for some tabletop games, with either real, or imaginations of your choosing.

It is interesting to note that the guy who was in power for a decade was thrown out in a coup, just like how he was installed into power.

There are reports of heavy and/or intense fighting with the rebels, but no casualty numbers are provided. Since it doesn't sound like the leader or forces in power stayed around too long, I find the above to be a bit dubious, without any supporting facts.

Anyway, on to the report:

Since the situation at this point appears to be a bit fluid, Kardashia has not chosen a side to back in this conflict, and will await developments (and offers of tribute), before weighing in on the change in leadership.

Who needs an imagination with all this going on?

Time to buy more modern French!

The Congo still appears to be fairly active as well, currently, but that seems to be pretty much standard from what I've read.

Thanks for the link, Mirosav.
