This paper documents the difficulties that the French had during their first decade at Bangui, established as their furthest outpost on the Ubangi River in 1889. It is argued that the problem was fundamentally one of race relations. The explanation for bad relations finds all participants at fault : the local people for persisting in their theft, the African personnel of the whites for their misinformation and for oppressing the people, and the French for being, on the one hand, racist in their attitudes to the local Ubangians and, on the other hand, slow at making an effort to establish good relations with them
