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 remains under control of ex-Séléka Central African Patriotic Movement.[5]

Notes

gollark: The subjective experience of a language model experiencing "humor" is not very testable, but PaLM can apparently explain jokes.
gollark: They don't have enough gollark joke training data. Such a shame.
gollark: And?
gollark: Humans use "brains". Brains are implemented on physics. Physics can probably be simulated on computers, if with some difficulty. QED.
