History
In 1905, Mongoumba became part of Moyen-Congo. Mongoumba was handed over to Germany in 1911. During World War I, French Army captured Mongoumba from Germany on 9 August 1914. French colonial government established a customs post in Mongoumba on 17 May 1923. On 1 January 1933, Mongoumba was ceded to Ubangi-Shari. On 5 March 2003, Movement for the Liberation of the Congo attacked Mongoumba to avenge FACA action who seized MLC logistics and detained its members. They freed their members and killed civilians. Moreover, MLC militias raped women and pillaged the hospital and houses.
