History

edit

On 7 June 2010, LRA raided Fodé. They burned some houses and looted civilian properties. Furthermore, the militia abducted 30 people from the village.[1] LRA militias attacked the village again on 29 April 2017. Two people were killed and LRA kidnapped some villagers. Fifty houses were burned by LRA. As a result, some residents fled to Bangassou while others hid in the bush.[2]

Economy

edit

Some of the village residents rely on hunting wild game for their main income.[3] However, the locals abandoned elephant poaching in 2012 due to the presence of LRA and the animal was seldom to encounter.[4]

Healthcare

Fodé has one health post.[5]
