The website was created in June 2014 by "Alain Nzilo", a journalist from the Central African Republic. The site employs multiple reporters in different provinces of the country. The site has been noted for consistent anti-Touadéra and inconsistent[2] anti-Russian sentiment, including frequent negative coverage of the Wagner Group in the Central African Republic.[3]
Editor
Despite the CNN styled logo, the CNC is not affiliated. The website's owner and sole reporter, "Alain Nzilo", was alleged by a Le Méridien investigation to be a pseudonym of rival politician Bienvenu Patric Rebaile Dalemet,[4] head of the Mouvement pour la Démocratie et l’Evolution Sociale since 2003.[5][4]
History

As of February 2021 the site has been blocked by the Central African government for publishing "fake news" during a security crisis (the Central African Republic Civil War).[8]
In January 2022, the website was viewed about 66,000 times, 30% of its traffic coming from the USA, 23% from Ethiopia, 16% from France, 10% from Belgium, 9% from Norway and so on. The website's content was also shared through two Facebook channels.[3]
