Yawa is a village situated in Lobaye Prefecture, Central African Republic
On 21 August 2023, the experienced soldiers launched a protest by shooting into the air after they were ordered not to guard the checkpoint again in the strategic places where they gained money. The shooting caused panic among the locals, and they fled to the bush. In response to the protest, the village elders asked the FACA commander to leave Yawa. The commander left the village for Boda, and the shot ended.[1]
An unknown armed group attacked the FACA base in Yawa on 25 August 2023, and the soldiers repelled the attack. The next day, the same militia assaulted FACA soldiers in the village. Due to the attack, the village was deserted, and many of its residents fled to Boganda.[2] [3]
Yawa has one health post.[4]
