                          About Public Holidays in Central African Republic

                          The Central African Republic's Independence Day (August 13, from France in 1960) and Republic Day (December 1, marking the 1958 status change ahead of full independence) both appear on the calendar, an unusually explicit two-step commemoration of the transition to statehood also used by a handful of other former French colonies.
