Why it matters

Regained state control over much of Bangui and key corridors with Russian/Wagner backing; adopted bitcoin as legal tender (2022), later reversed.
No credible megaprojects; infrastructure ambitions stalled by insecurity and fiscal collapse.
Russian-backed forces implicated in killings, torture, and sexual violence; opposition and press suppressed ahead of the 2025 vote.
Deep Russian security partnership (Wagner/Africa Corps); strained ties with France and MINUSCA; growing Rwandan military cooperation.
