Kamburi (French; Kambouri; Arabic: كلمبأنارأنا) officially the Republic of Kamburi, is a landlocked country located in central Africa, bordered by Chad to the north, the Central African Republic to the south-east and Cameroon to the south-west. During the insuring years after independence, Chad was continuing to put pressure on Mosi to hand over the border town of Sarh, which he declined. As a result, over the next 17 years, both nations fought a border war for control of the city, which ended in 1979 with the Sarh Peace Accords, headed by France.

  • Kamburi (French; Kambouri; Arabic: كلمبأنارأنا) officially the Republic of Kamburi, is a landlocked country located in central Africa, bordered by Chad to the north, the Central African Republic to the south-east and Cameroon to the south-west. Kamburi's landscape is considered to be an arid forest, with little rain towards the centre of the country. However, towards the border regions of the country, the landscape becomes less arid. The capital of the Kamburi is also the nations largest city, and is home to 30 different linguistic and ethnic groups, despite French and Arabic being its official languages. Christianity is the major religion in the nation, followed by the sizeable Islamic community. Human beings have lived in the area Kamburi occupies today, however, around the 7th millennium B.C, the area became far more populated. Home to the Zambir civilization for 400 years, the area came under control of the French, and by 1920, it had been assimilated into French Equatorial Africa. On August 19, 1960, a week after Chad declared independence, the region declared independence under a Republican system, led by Mudaqi Mosi. During the insuring years after independence, Chad was continuing to put pressure on Mosi to hand over the border town of Sarh, which he declined. As a result, over the next 17 years, both nations fought a border war for control of the city, which ended in 1979 with the Sarh Peace Accords, headed by France. Currently, Kamburi remains plagued by corruption and disease not unlike its northern neighbour, however, it hangs lower on the Human Development Index. As a result of the border war, much of the population was forced out of the cities, and turned to subsistence farming or military service, furthered after the rise of Philippe Mwenye to the Presidency during the 1998 civil war.
