Firmin Ngrébada (born 24 May 1968)[1] is a Central African politician who served as Prime Minister of the Central African Republic from 25 February 2019 to 15 June 2021.[2][3] He was appointed after a peace deal was signed between the government and 14 armed groups to try to suppress violence in the ongoing civil war.[4] He also led the Central African Republic's delegation in the negotiations of the peace deal.[5]

Political career

Firmin Ngrebada graduated in law in 1988, then he obtained a master's degree in public law in 1994, at the University of Bangui. He entered public service in October 1993, inspecting social and labor law.[6]

Ngrébada served as Deputy Cabinet Director under Simplice Sarandji when Sarandji was Cabinet Director and Faustin-Archange Touadéra was Prime Minister.[7] He went on to become the cabinet director of the Central African Republic, and chief of staff to the President.[4][7] On 25 February 2019, Ngrébada was sworn in as Prime Minister.[8]

On 10 June 2021, Ngrébada and his entire cabinet resigned following the withdrawal of 160 French soldiers from the country earlier that week.[9]
