Central African Empire — the extraordinary and short-lived imperial experiment of Jean-Bédel Bokassa whose self-coronation in December 1977 consumed one third of the nation's annual budget in a spectacle of Napoleonic excess that flew in the face of a country where most citizens lived in profound poverty, and whose reign of increasingly erratic personal rule, culminating in the massacre of schoolchildren who refused to wear his government-mandated uniforms in 1979, shocked even the French patrons who had long tolerated his brutality into finally withdrawing their support and restoring the republic in Operation Barracuda, leaving behind one of post-colonial Africa's most cautionary tales about the dangers of unchecked personal power in the fragile states that emerged from the wreckage of European colonialism. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that sobering legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
