Bangui

Bangui (French pronunciation: [bɑ̃ɡi]), or Bangî in Sango, formerly written Bangi in English, is the capital and largest city of the Central African Republic. As of 2012 it had an estimated population of 734,350. It was established as a French outpost in 1889 and named after its location on the northern bank of the Ubangi River (French: Oubangui); the Ubangi itself was named from the Bobangi word for the "rapids" located beside the settlement, which marked the end of navigable water north from Brazzaville. The majority of the population of the Central African Republic lives in the western parts of the country, in Bangui and the surrounding area.

The city forms an autonomous commune (commune autonome) of the Central African Republic which is surrounded by the Ombella-M'Poko prefecture. With an area of 67 square kilometres (26 sq mi), the commune is the smallest high-level administrative division in the country, but the highest in terms of population. The city consists of eight urban districts (arrondissements), 16 groups (groupements) and 205 neighbourhoods (quartiers). As the capital of the Central African Republic, Bangui acts as an administrative, trade, and commercial centre. It is served by the Bangui M'Poko International Airport. The National Assembly, government buildings, banks, foreign enterprises and embassies, hospitals, hotels, main markets and the Ngaragba Central Prison are all located here. Bangui manufactures textiles, food products, beer, shoes and soap. Its Notre-Dame Cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bangui. The city is also home to the University of Bangui, inaugurated in 1970.

    Just Like A Pill

    by: Pink

    I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
    I think, I took too much
    I'm cryin' here, what have you done?
    I thought it would be fun
    I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
    I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
    I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
    I think I'll get outta here, where I can
    Run just as fast as I can
    To the middle of nowhere
    To the middle of my frustrated fears
    And I swear you're just like a pill
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
    You keep makin' me ill
    I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
    This must be a bad trip
    All of the other pills, they were different
    Maybe I should get some help
    I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
    I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
    I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
    I think I'll get outta here, where I can
    Run just as fast as I can
    To the middle of nowhere
    To the middle of my frustrated fears
    And I swear you're just like a pill
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
    You keep makin' me ill
    Run just as fast as I can
    To the middle of nowhere
    To the middle of my frustrated fears
    And I swear you're just like a pill
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
    You keep makin' me ill
    I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch

    (Frustrated, frustrated fears)
    And I swear you're just like a pill
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
    You keep makin' me ill
    Run just as fast as I can
