Central African Republic Bush War (2004-2007)
In December 2005, APRD attacked Bémal. Presidential Guard soldiers led by Lt. Eugene Ngaïkosset visited Bémal on 11 February 2006 at 1 p.m. in revenge for the APRD attack on 29 January. As they arrived at the village, the villagers fled and the PG troops shot toward them. They killed a policeman and a civil servant who worked at customs offices. In addition, Presidential Guard looted houses and hospitals. As a result, 1.800 Bémal residents fled to the bush and Chad. Following an attack on the commercial truck near the Chad-CAR border by an unknown group on 15 March 2006, 75 Presidential Guard troops revisited Bémal on 22 March 2006 evening. On the next day morning, they beheaded a village school teacher on his way to the house from the market. ANT raided Bémal in December 2006. They stole 32 cows, farming tools, and peanuts.
