History
On 11 December 2006, FACA and Presidential Guard forces entered Kpokpo, killing four people and burning 44 houses.[2][3]
Around 2016 to 2017, MPC and FPRC rebels controlled the village and erected a roadblock. Serving as the first of the nine roadblocks along the Kaga-Bandoro-Sido road, the Kpokpo roadblock was a strategic and profitable site where the rebels earned 800,000 FCFA per week.[4] In July 2017, some villagers sought refuge at the Lazare site due to fear of retaliation by armed groups.[5]
