Kaga-Bandoro, Central African Republic

Capital City

With a population of just 24,661, Kaga-Bandoro is a sleepy market town that offers little to entice the average expat. The town has been renamed twice, reflecting its turbulent history - in 1903, French colonial officials executed a deserter by dynamite to "warn the locals not to rebel." While the climate is tropical, the persistent bureaucratic headaches and risk of armed violence make this an unattractive destination for all but the most intrepid of adventurers. This Central African Republic outpost is best left to those with an iron will and an extremely high tolerance for instability.
