description: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Forces armes centrafricaines (FACA) are the armed forces of the Central African Republic established after independence in 1960. Today they are a rather weak institution dependent on international support to hold back the enemies in the current civil war. Its disloyalty to the president came to the fore during the mutinies in 1996-1997 but ever since then it has faced internal problems. It has been strongly criticised by human rights organisations due to its terror including killings torture and sexual violence.
