History
The tata, or fortified wall, creates a citadel-like palace on a hill overlooking N'Délé. It was constructed at the behest of Sultan Mohammed al-Sanussi of Dar al Kuti in the late 19th century.[4] N'Délé, the tata, and the Kaga-Kpoungouvou Caves were collectively added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on April 11, 2006, in the Cultural category.[4] In 1970, N'Délé received electricity.[5]
When the fighting resumed in December 2012 between the FACA loyalists and the rebel coalition of Séléka, the city fell to rebel forces.[6][7] In 2020 heavy clashes erupted in the city between ex-Séléka FPRC and RPRC groups resulting in dozens people being killed. On 27 June 2021, N'Délé was recaptured by government forces.[8]
