Kabo^[1] is a town in the northern Central African Republic, lying north west of Kaga Bandoro. It is a market town and the border post for Chad.

History[]

The northern nomads in the Central African Republic resented the central government and a rebel People's Army for the Restoration of the Republic and Democracy (PAPRD) was formed in the 1990s. Clashes between the rebels and the central government intensified,^[2] and many people from Kabo and the surrounding area fled as refugees to Chad. However, in January 2008, PAPRD and the Central African Armed Forces (FACA) agreed on a ceasefire for the Kabo area, allowing many of the refugees to return.^[3] On 19 December 2012 the city was captured by Séléka coalition.^[4] As of 2020 it was under control of ex-Séléka Central African Patriotic Movement.^[5] On 15 April 2021 Kabo was recaptured by government forces.^[6]
