History

[edit]
A hut in Alindao in 1924.

In 1912, the leader of the Banda-Ngbugu people in Alindao, Aju, swore allegiance to the French colonisers. However, he led a local revolt in 1925 and was captured and executed the following year.[5]

In 1927, Norwegian missionary Oscar Cesar Berntz-Lanz established the Elim Mission at Boybinga in the Alindao subprefecture. It was among the first Protestant missions in the colony and included a small dispensary and a school. When World War II broke out in 1939, the family relocated to South Africa.[5]

On 5 January 2013 Séléka rebels took control of Alindao.[6] On 9 May 2017 it was attacked by Anti-balaka which was repelled by Union for Peace in the Central African Republic.[7] On 15 November 2018 at least 112 people were killed and 27 injured in UPC and Anti-balaka attacks on Alindao refugee camp. On 18 March 2021 Alindao was recaptured by government forces supported by Russian paramilitary forces.[8]

Economy

[edit]

The economy is based on food crops and cash crops (mainly coffee), and the processing of agricultural products. Fishing,[9] hunting, trade and craft activities are also local employment practices but the majority live in poverty. The locals reside in houses with huge thatched roofs and mud walls painted in colored clay.[10]
