Inside Ndele, FPRC's 'peaceful' parallel state
2017-10-08
[Al Jazeera] Ndele, Central African Republic - Dieu-beni Celestin Tebefra sits alone in his narrow office, a portrait of the president who named him to this post hanging over his shoulders.

He is the sole representative of the central government in this strategic northern town - but his administrative toolbox is empty.

"I don't have gendarmes or police. It's hard to lead and assert my authority. If I make a decision, who's going to enforce it?" Tebefra asked with a sad shrug. "There are no judges, no magistrates."
