History

Since 2006 Sam Ouandja has been under control of different rebel groups led by Damane Zakaria, including Union of Democratic Forces for Unity (UFDR), Séléka and most recently Rassemblement patriotique pour le renouveau de la Centrafrique (RPRC). It was captured by UFDR on 13 November 2006. The town has been used by different groups for trafficking weapons from Sudan, including pistols, rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers and ammunition.

In December 2012, along with N'Délé and Ouadda, Seleka captured Sam Ouandja.

On 18 August 2022, rebels withdrew from Sam Ouandja following arrival of MINUSCA peacekeepers.

PRNC attacked Sam Ouandja on 4 July 2023. Six people were killed, including the gendarmerie brigade commander, two gendarmerie personnel, two teenagers, and one rebel.
