Sylvie Baïpo-Temon is a Central African politician who has served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic since 14 December 2018.[1] She replaced Charles-Armel Doubane, allegedly under Russian pressure because Doubane took a too pro-Western stance.[2] She formerly worked as a financial analyst at BNP Paribas since 2003 and has no previous diplomatic experience.[1][3][dead link] In July 2022, Sylvie Baïpo-Temon was ordered by the French tax authorities to pay €18,000 of unpaid taxes.[4]
