		The geological structure of the Oubangui basin is mainly represented by a vast peneplanation surface.
		For all the rivers from the Oubangui basin, the rainfall input range between 6 to 56% for Na; 1 to 27% for Ca; 0.4 to 6.1% for Mg and 2.1 to 11% for Sr.
		For summarising, on the Oubangui basin, the seasonal variations are the consequence of geological heterogeneities and hydrological functioning while on the small watersheds, the temporal variation are related to the weathering processes.

	History of the Central African Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Central African Republic is believed to have been settled from at least the 7th century on by overlapping empires, including the Kanem-Bornu, Ouaddai, Baguirmi, and Dafour groups based around Lake Chad region and along Upper Nile.
		Later, various sultanates claimed present-day C.A.R, using the entire Oubangui region as a slave reservoir, from which slaves were traded north across the Sahara and to West Africa for export by the Europeans.
		The French consolidated their legal claim to the area through an 1887 convention with Congo Free State, which granted France possession of the right bank of the Oubangui River.

		The hydroclimatology of the Oubangui catchment from 1902 to 1994 is described.
		The hydroclimatology of the Central African continent is described by analysis of rainfall and runoff data from the Oubangui catchment, situated in the centre of the African continent, close to the equator and mostly on the northern hemisphere.
		The Oubangui catchment is very interesting because its continental settlement in Africa, to note differences in the hydrological functioning of these landscapes, due to its major hydroclimatological shift.

	EO News: Congo River Basin: Geology and Soil Type Influence Drought Impact - January 11, 2002
		This trend accentuated from 1980 and, until 1996, the Congo discharge weakened by 10% (37 400 m3/s in 1992 compared with an average of 40 600 m3 /s over that period as a whole), which was the most dramatic decrease of the century.
		In the North, the Oubangui sub-basin is a ferruginous cuirassed peneplain which favours water runoff.
		The nature of the geological substrate of the Oubangui sub-basin amplifies considerably any variation in rainfall; between 1982 and 1993, a 3% drop in rainfall induced a 29% loss of discharge.

		State of Decay: An Oubangui Chronicle recounts a rapid-fire succession of events leading to the overthrow of a corrupt dictator in the Central African country of "Oubangui." A battalion of heroes and villains charge through the many plot twists crammed into its scant 156 pages.
		The Lion of Oubangui, dictator Bassia, bears a strong resemblance to Emperor Jean-Bedel Bokassa of the Central African Republic, overthrown in 1979.
		The scenes involving these characters are interspersed with political speculation featuring the U.S. ambassador and his political officer, stationed in the capital of Landja.

	State of Decay — a review
		The author Robert Gribbin was a PCV in Kenya in the late 60s, and later (according to his State Department web bio) a career diplomat in different spots on the continent, including service in Rwanda as US Ambassador after the 1994 massacres and terror.
		Unfortunately, too many of these portraits are almost as brazen and shallow as those from a 1930s Hollywood movie of Africa.
		Gribbin provides several blatant clues that the book is a portrait of the Central African Republic (CAR): the book’s first subtitle is “An Oubangui Chronicle” using the country’s name prior to independence in 1958.

		This collection draws on field recordings done by Vincent Dehoux in the Central African Republic and archived at the French Museum of Natural History.
		The shortest cut here is the Mbugu one, "Orchestra de Trompes," which is a delightful three minutes plus of casual chaos featuring bleating horns and unison shouts that wouldn't seem out of place on a Tom Waits record.
