Michel Ernest Alexis Gallin-Douathe[1] (4 June 1920 – 7 March 1989) was a Central African diplomat and politician who served in two different ministerial positions during the Second Dacko Presidency.
During that time, Galingui announced that he had changed his name to Gallin-Douathé and received "elevated" status on 27 July 1944, which allowed him to serve in vital administrative positions.
[3] The Socialist Party Committee of Brazzaville appointed Gallin-Douathé to partake in the 1951 election as a candidate for Ubangi-Shari representative at the French National Assembly.
[5] Nonetheless, he stipulated that he would neither publicize nor inform this racial incident to the Central African Republic government as it would give an impression that CAR-US relations started "in such an unfortunate fashion".
[3] Gallin-Douathe joined the French Civil Service and worked at an overseas migration office in 1972 and then moved to the Ministry of Home Affairs in 1978.
After the fall of the Bokassa regime, he went back to the Central African Republic, and Dacko appointed him as the Minister of Home Affairs and Public Safety on 26 September 1979.
