I dont know why, but I find that this city has a strange charm to it that makes it so appealing to me

Thanks and kudos for starting this thread to the OP.

I wanted to start a thread about the CAR because unfortunately we get to hear or see so little about this country, its one of Africa's forgotten countries

To true, it could really do with some more awareness for investment

I agree. I think I have a slight fetish for the smaller cities, but this city especially. The nature seems very well connected to the city. You look at all that greenery mixed with colonial architecture and it seems almost quaint.

Ive also noticed that despite being in one of the poorsest countries in the world, Bangui has actually managed to keep alot of its buildings in very good shape, and the roads dont look too bad, all they need is a sweep up and some markings

Driving through the market, the heart of Bangui. If you click on the youtube link then it will take you to dozens of other videos. No point me spamming the page with them.

I was born just a couple of hours from Bangui if the roads are fixed 2 hours away. Bangui mon capital!!

I doubt it with the lack of advertising space. The only information I can find about the Bangui bus service is that they bought Renault models which have two doors, smaller side windows and more rectangular.
