Central African president Faustin Archange Touadéra has been making repeated appeals to Paris in recent days with a view to meeting with Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the European Union-African Union summit. For the moment, the French government is politely stalling for time.

Touadéra chooses not to rock the boat with new PM Moloua

Prime minister Henri-Marie Dondra's dismissal was a victory for those members of the president's entourage who fought hard to see him go. But their triumph may be shortlived as his successor Félix Moloua has a very similar profile to that of his predecessor.

Touadera attempts to save republican dialogue

The democratic opposition withdrew from the 'republican dialogue' peace talks last week, after a move by the president of the National Assembly to waive the parliamentary immunity of three of its leaders. This falls at the precise moment that President Touadera is seeking funding for the talks.

Russia's presence further widens wedge in Paris-Bangui axis

Cuts to French aid, a freeze on military cooperation... relations between Paris and Bangui continue to cool. France suspects several of Touadéra's close advisors of waging anti-French campaigns while Russia is not far from the picture.
