Damara is a town located in the Central African Republic prefecture of Ombella-M'Poko.

Part of the 2012-2013 Central African Republic conflict, the rebels claimed that President of the Central African Republic François Bozizé had violated the terms of a January cease-fire agreement.

After storming the Damara checkpoint, however, the rebels were prevented from taking Bangui by a helicopter attack.

The rebels have not reached Bangui," said a senior military analyst quoted by Reuters.
