The CAR doesn’t boast Ethiopia’s booming economy or Angola’s deep oil reserves. It lacks a developed mining industry like Zambia or a strategic location like Djibouti.</div> <ul class="links inline list-inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="/jrnl/art/car-eritrea-russias-african-ambitions-unfold" rel="tag" title="From the CAR to Eritrea, Russia’s African Ambitions Unfold" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about From the CAR to Eritrea, Russia’s African Ambitions Unfold</span></a></li><li class="comment-comments"><a href="/jrnl/art/car-eritrea-russias-african-ambitions-unfold#comments" title="Jump to the first comment." hreflang="en">1 comment</a></li><li class="comment-new-comments"><a href="/taxonomy/term/394/feed" class="hidden" title="Jump to the first new comment." data-history-node-last-comment-timestamp="1679909281" data-history-node-field-name="comment"></a></li><li class="comment-forbidden"></li><li></li></ul> Mon, 12 Nov 2018 09:29:07 +0000 SWJED 109742 at http://archive.smallwarsjournal.com http://archive.smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/reducing-community-violence-central-african-republic-case-bria <span>Reducing Community Violence in the Central African Republic – The Case of Bria</span> <span><span>SWJED</span></span> <span>Thu, 08/16/2018 - 12:40am</span> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item">Many of Africa's armed conflicts constitute wicked problems.
