History
The Miss Central African Republic pageant is a national beauty contest held to select the country's beauty representative. It was officially established by government decree in 2009.[1]
The competition was suspended during the period of unrest and widespread violence in 2013–2014, when many public and cultural events were disrupted.[2]
An edition of the pageant was held in 2014, but it was marked by significant disruptions and controversies amid ongoing instability.[3][4] In 2015, the winner, Flora Habiba, emphasized peace and reconciliation and was described in the media as "Miss Central African Republic for peace".[5]
In 2018, the pageant was reinstated with the support of the Wagner Group, The final event was held on 9 December 2018 at the Bangui National Stadium in Bangui, Central African Republic.[6][7][8] Miss Russia 2013, Elmira Abdrazakova, was invited to assist in organizing the event.[9][10]
