History

Central African Republic Bush War (2004-2007)

On 25 and 26 April 2006, a mysterious Antonov cargo plane landed on Tiringoulou airstrip to unload weapons and 50 armed men who fled to the surrounding area.[1] The locals alerted the government through radio. In response, Bozize sent Presidential Guard to the village. The Presidential Guard burned houses and attacked locals who wore camouflage uniforms or had a job related to arms-carrying.[2]

LRA attacked the UFDR base and burned several houses in Tiringoulou on 4 October 2010, which caused four LRA fighters and one UFDR member to die. In this attack, LRA kidnapped a girl and forced her to marry an LRA member.[3][4]

Central African Republic Civil War (2013-present)

On March 2022, the Wagner Group attacked Tiringoulou and killed 12 people, including FPRC general Baba Amibe.[5] On 25 May they again arrived in the village.[6] In December a government delegation met there with PRNC rebels to negotatie release of kidnaped workers.[7]
