Atongo-Bakari, also written Atongo-Bakary, is a village situated in Ouaka Prefecture, Central African Republic.

History

Anti-balaka and FPRC attacked Atongo-Bakari on 2 December 2016, killing 18 Peuhl civilians, including the leader of the nomadic camp and his deputy. The same group stormed the village on 9 December, killing four people.[1]

Around 20 UPC militias attacked Atongo-Bakari on 13 March 2017, killing nine civilians and burning almost all houses in the village.[2] Due to the attack, the residents fled from the village.[3]

In May 2021, Atongo-Bakari was under CPC's control, causing the election not to be held in the village.[4] Ex-Séléka members entered the village on 1 February 2022, killing three people and torching houses. As a result, the residents sought refuge in the bush.[5]

Healthcare

There is a health center in the village.[6]
