Central African Republic (CAR) is one of the poorest and most unstable countries in the world and has occupied the top place in all possible rankings of failed states, instability, poverty, corruption etc. for many years. However, although the CAR has experienced almost constant instability for the last few decades it was only in recent years that it has received the media attention which was unseen before. Such an unusual interest has resulted from two successive internal conflicts: first, in 2012 the anti‑ government rebellion drawing together the alliance of rebel militia factions, the Séléka, and a year later the insurrection of the opposing Anti‑Balaka forces. The article is an attempt to analyse the causes of the instability of the CAR and the current political and security situation in the country, taking into account, among other things, the results of the fieldwork conducted by the author in the Central African Republic, as well as his long‑time research on the phenomenon of dysfunctional states.

the purpose of the article is to characterize the Ivorian nationalism. In the introduction the mechanisms of the creation of the African nation in the postcolonial era and the European perception of this process are shown. Next, the birth of nationalist ideology in Ivory Coast and the role of the “father of the nation” – Félix Houphouët-Boigny – are characterized. Then, the article focuses on the meaning of the national goods among which cocoa should be recognized. Mismanagement on the cocoa economy was one of the most significant reasons of redefining the national identity (Ivoirity), the outbreak of the civil war and the decaying of the state. Finally, the essay presents the attempts of implementation of the transitional justice and ongoing national reconciliation in Ivory Coast.
