Union of Central African Republics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Union of Central African Republics ( French Union des Républiques d'Afrique Central / URAC ) was a loose or never realized union of the former French colonies of the Congo (Brazzaville) , Chad and the Central African Republic .

The aim was not a state union, but only political, economic and customs cooperation. However, the customs union ( Union Douaniere Equatoriale , UDE) agreed for this purpose on August 11, 1960 was just as unrealized as the announced creation of a joint transport authority (Agence Transéquatoriale des Communications / ATEC).
