History

Anti-balaka attacked the UPC position in the village on 21 March 2018. There are two theories behind the motive of Anti-balaka's attack, which were the presence of Ali Darassa and an attempt to steal cattle. Due to the clash between two rebel groups, the villagers fled, and ten civilians were killed. [1]

UPC rebels attacked Wagner Group mercenaries 10 km from Maloum's southern entrance on 3 September 2021. Wagner drove the rebels to the village center. As a result, the locals sought refuge in the bush to secure themselves from being rebel targets. [2] Wagner visited Maloum on 9 September 2021 and arrested five people who had connections to the UPC. [3]

Four unknown militias attacked Maloum on 25 November 2022 at 8 PM. They looted shops and some houses. Locals accused CPC rebels of masterminding the attack. However, CPC denied that they partook in the attack. [4]
