anything new ?
Unfortunately, it seems "not really".In February, the Central African Republic's government seems to have launched a memecoin called $CAR. According to this BBC article however it was not a success, and it seems also to have been unclear who benefitted -- it could have been more like the Trump memecoin, benefitting the presidential family.
Also according to the BBC article, the Sango website is not longer working. I visited it and that nice text is displayed:
Quote from: sango.org
The original Sango project, as it was first envisioned, will not continue in its previous form.
After careful consideration and strategic planning, we are preparing a new direction that honors the initial ambition, but adapts it to a stronger, more viable path forward.
Very soon, we will reveal a complete transformation, one that merges innovation, real-world utility, and a future-ready vision for the Central African Republic.

Hard to believe
At least the announcement seems to have been relatively recent, as there is an post on the Sango X account from the end of April referencing the upcoming "new direction". In addition, Sango investors got a $CAR memecoin airdrop
I really can't understand how the CAR government wasn't able to at least take some benefit from the news hype around their crypto law. I get that the country's infrastructure is extremely poor, but the potential to establish itself at least as a regional crypto haven would have been high -- a couple of BTC exchanges established in the capital, at least, could have significantly moved the GDP.
Edit: That's the memecoin: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/central-african-republic-meme/ . 98% below ATH. Fabulous!
Edit 2: Something seems to have been done lately: In May, the $CAR project announced to tokenize land at 45 km of Bangui. Perhaps I'll be watching that, if this time they really get anywhere or not ...
