From 1976 to 1979, Bangui was the seat of an Empire! This great city holds the same status in the world that places like Beijing, Tokyo, Vienna, Delhi, Paris, Moscow and London hold. Why is there no mention of Bangui's glorious history and its Imperial heritage? Even the article on Timbuktu mentions that city's past Imperial glories in the second paragraph. All the Bangui article talks about is stuff like strife and poverty and civil war. Give this Imperial City its due... 71.52.130.192 (talk) 14:15, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Let's not forget Rome, Mexico City (back when it was still Tenochtitlan), Istanbul, Berlin, and even Stockholm. Bangui is in some amazing company. 76.6.20.64 (talk) 13:05, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it was an Imperial City. So were Memphis, Egypt, Karakorum, Teotihuacan, and Angkor Wat. Get the idea here? 173.94.157.34 (talk) 05:28, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
