Soldiers and civilians walk past the Garden of Semicentennial, a small park celebrating the 50th anniversary of the independence of Central African Republic (CAR) in Bangui, the capital city. The statues represent six former presidents including François Bozizé, far right with the missing name plate, the deposed president who fled the country after the Séléka rebels seized power by a military coup back in March 24, 2013. Séléka, meaning "union" or "allegiance" in Sango language, propelled the current CAR interim President Michel Djotodia into power Séléka forces are still causing instability in the country, waging battles with pro-Bozizé supporters known as Anti-Balaka to this date. The insecurity drove the country into total chaos in almost every sector, as its citizens merely try to survive from day to day. Already one of the poorest countries in the world, CAR's future looks bleaker than it ever has in the past.
