Finzane, also written Fenzane[1] or Finzani[2] is a village located 10 km from northern Zemio[2] in Haut-Mbomou Prefecture, Central African Republic.

History

[edit]

Finzane had a population of 348 people in 1962.[3]

At the end of May 2010, the villagers fled to Zemio due to the LRA's attack threat.[4] On 31 January 2017, an armed group attacked Finzane, killing two people.[1] In December 2018, armed Peuhl militia attacked the village, prompting the MINUSCA to send its peacekeeping forces.[5]
