Washabo is an indigenous[2] village of the Lokono tribe[1] near Apoera. It has a population of about 600 people.[1] According to the oral tradition, the village was founded in the 1920s by the Lingaard family.[3]
The village generally does not allow non-tribal people to live in their village unless they are married to a member of the tribe. Washabo has a clinic and a school. Washabo can be reached from an unpaved road from the Southern East-West Link.[3] The Washabo Airport is located in the village.[4] Up to 1995, the villages of Apoera, Washabo and Section were governed by the same village chief due to their close proximity.[3]
