In the war-torn Central African Republic, former rebels who mounted a coup in 2013 are now dreaming of independence. FRANCE 24’s reporters James André and Anthony Fouchard went to meet one of the most powerful armed groups in the country, in the capital of their parallel state in the north.
Since gaining independence from France in 1960, the Central African Republic has never truly experienced peace. In March 2013, a coalition of rebel groups called the Seleka seized power in country’s fifth coup d'état. Leaders on all sides exploited religious tensions for political ends and the country descended into violence. The Seleka, led by Michel Djotodia, was forced to give up power after nine months, completely unable to restore security. Under UN auspices, France deployed more than 2,000 soldiers to restore a fragile peace and avoid what it called a “genocide".
But President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, who was elected in March 2016, has still not managed to bring calm to a country devastated by civil war. On the contrary: violence actually resumed in the capital Bangui in April 2018.
►► On France24.com: Central African Republic's president Touadéra slams 'enemies of the peace'
Since being routed, the rebels have been divided and fragmented, but have maintained their ability to cause trouble. The Popular Front for the Renaissance of the Central African Republic (known by its French acronym FPRC) is one of the most powerful armed groups. Abdoulaye Hissène, the FPRC’s military leader, is based in the northeastern town of Ndélé, but is massing his troops at the gates of Bangui.
Towards a partition of the country?
Although the prospect of a fresh coup seems unlikely, everyone is wondering about a possible partition of the country. The rebels prefer to talk about federalism and autonomy. Although they control all the main roads, provide security and even levy taxes, they do not want to create the impression of cutting ties with the central government, which does not consider the north a priority. The FPRC now wants to improve its image, severely tarnished after the violence of 2013.
The rebels are literally sitting on a gold and diamond mine, the northeast being rich in natural resources. This is attracting Russian private security companies, officially invited by the central government to train army recruits. The climate is tense, but in the meantime, Abdoulaye Hissène knows very well that the weak army cannot dislodge him.
"My men are in Bangui, they are just waiting for the political green light," he says. Whether he’s bluffing or not, guns speak louder than words and appear to be the main negotiating method in this region.

That is after the son of slain President Idris Deby, Mahamat Deby, was appointed as leader.
The military, which announced Deby's sudden death on Tuesday, has promised elections in a year and a half.
But unions are threatening to strike, and rebels are planning to march on the capital.

There have been opposition protests in Chad against the military transition council. It follows the army's appointment of a civilian prime minister while the opposition wants a full civilian government.
After the killing of President Idriss Deby, the army named his son, a General, as the new leader. Regional powers and France, a key ally of Chad in counterterrorism operations, are pushing for a civilian-military solution.
So what’s next for Chad? BBC Monitoring analyst Hellen Abatoni explains.

The public prosecutor Moussa Djibrine at a news conference said 262 persons were given jail sentences, 80 were given suspended terms and 59 were acquitted.
The defendants were charged with taking part in an unauthorised gathering, destroying belongings, arson and disturbing public order.
The protests had been called to mark the date when Chad’s ruling military had initially promised to cede power, a timeline that has now been extended by two years.

The observer mission of the African Union on Tuesday said the recent presidential election that was held in Comoros "went well overall," in spite of several incidents reported on the islands of Anjouan, a stronghold of the opposition, AFP reported.
Addressing a news conference in Comoros’ capital, Moroni, the spokesperson of the AU mission and former president of Burundi, Domitien Ndazizeye said no "disaster" had been recorded, urging parties with grievances to use relevant institutions to seek redress.
The archipelago awaits official results from Sunday's first round election, which is expected to show incumbent leader President Azali Assoumani with a comfortable lead.
But supporters of the five opposition candidates have accused electoral authorities of delaying voting in their electoral strongholds and harassing polling observers.
The result of the first round is expected sometime this week, but tension is already rising on the Comoros' three islands — Grande-Comore, Anjouan and Moheli — home to 870,000 people.
