One of the brilliant things about working at the Economist is that we have correspondents EVERYWHERE. So when we wanted to find out what Wagner is up to in the Central African Republic, we asked our Africa Correspondent Tom Gardner to go find out.

I got chucked out of class for reading my mum's copy of Flowers in the Attic, age 11. Sophie's World at 14 turned me into a vegetarian. The Handmaid's Tale at 16 was my first taste of feminism. Having to censor books is heartbreaking .
