In each of these, a source puts Jean-Bédel Bokassa and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Jean-Bédel Bokassa was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:

Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
