Translator's Note: Didier Kassaï's Storm Over Bangui is a comprehensive chronicle of the instability of the Central African Republic following the overthrow of President François Bozizé in 2013 and the beginning of a civil war which continues unabated to this day. Kassaï, an artist from Bangui, the CAR's capital, takes us on a tour of his country's recent history, depicting the rise of Séléka Muslim militias and the Anti-balaka Christian militias that arose in response to them, showing how the CAR was eventually split into two, between the Muslim north-east and the Christian south-west. Kassaï lost a brother to the Séléka in 2012 and this is an important feature of the book itself, as it is not a mere historical chronicle, or a shock-exposé, since it highlights the effects of the war on the CAR's people and society.
