Tambourah, also spelled Tamboura, is a village located in Haut-Mbomou Prefecture, Central African Republic.

History

On 19 January 2016, LRA fighters raided Tambourah and abducted 16 people. Consequently, the residents fled and sought refuge in Zemio.[1]

In August 2016, ACTED rehabilitated the village's well.[2]

Due to the LRA's attack in Bangassou-Nzakara in January 2017, Tambourah was emptied. Most of the residents sought refuge in the bush, while some went to Zemio.[3]

Healthcare

Tambourah has one health post.[4]
