The Movement for Democracy and Independence (French: Mouvement pour la Démocratie et l'Indépendence, MDI) was a political party in the Central African Republic.
History
Established on 17 January 1981,[1] the MDI was led by François Gueret, who had served in David Dacko's cabinet, but resigned. The MDI was fiercely anti-Soviet and somewhat pro-China.[2] In the 1981 presidential elections the MDI nominated Gueret as its candidate, although he did not contest the elections.
The party was banned on 2 September 1981.[1]
