Maloum is a village located in Ouaka Prefecture, Central African Republic.

There are two theories regarding the motive of Anti-balaka's attack, which were the possible presence of Ali Darassa or an attempt to steal cattle.

Due to the clash between two rebel groups, the villagers fled, and ten civilians were killed.
