The following sentence needs to be written by someone with more knowledge of this nation's history than myself:

"The MESAN was founded as a genuinely democratic and nationalist party; however, it was later hijacked by Boganda's nephew, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, and converted into an instrument of repression during the existence of the "Central African Empire."" --Thomas.macmillan 02:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
