The President of which of the following countries fled To Cameroon in March 2013 because of rebellion?

The answer is A) Central African Republic. President François Bozizé, who had seized power in a 2003 coup, fled to Cameroon in March 2013 after the Séléka rebel coalition captured Bangui on 24 March 2013. Séléka then installed Michel Djotodia as leader, and the country slid into prolonged sectarian violence.

Why the others are wrong:

• Chad: Idriss Déby ruled Chad through 2021 and was not ousted in 2013. His death in 2021 came in unusual circumstances, not through a 2013 flight.
• Gabon: Ali Bongo's family ruled Gabon for decades. Bongo was removed in a military coup in 2023, not in 2013.
• Republic: This is not a country name and is not a valid answer. It appears to be a truncated option.

The core concept is post-coup instability in Francophone Central Africa and the failure of regional mediation. For Mains, link it to ECCAS, the AU's response, and the French-led intervention (Operation Sangaris) and UN peacekeeping in the CAR.

Trap: Aspirants often confuse coup-hit Central and West African states from the same period. Anchor the event to the March 2013 Bangui capture and the CAR.
