1. I suggest you re-check your sources. The Central African Republic gained independence in 1960, and that year saw a power struggle between two contenders for the presidency, Abel Goumba and David Dacko, with the latter succeeding, with the support of France. However, there was no war, as such.

2. The largest republic in central Africa, now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, had a civil war from 1960 to 1964 (also known as the Congo Crisis).

3. Other than photos of Belgian troops returning home, there appear to be no pics online of the Congo Crisis.
