Dekoa[1] (Dékoua[2]) is a sub-prefecture and town in the Kémo Prefecture of the south-eastern Central African Republic.
History
In the nineteenth century freebooter Rabih az-Zubayr brought Dekoa under his sway and made it a part of the Bornu Empire. In March 1899, the sultan captured and imprisoned the explorer Ferdinand de Béhagle at Dekoa. Béhagle was subsequently hanged after the French battled the sultan's troops at Kouno in October of that year.[3][4]
