Bémal is a village located in Lim-Pendé Prefecture, Central African Republic. Until December 2020, Bémal was part of Ouham-Pende.
In December 2005, APRD attacked Bémal.[1]
Presidential Guard soldiers led by Lt. Eugene Ngaïkosset visited Bémal on 11 February 2006 at 1 PM 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.[2][3]
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.[4]

ANT visited Bémal on 3 April 2014. They killed three people and stole three motorcycles.[6] On 24 April 2014, an unknown armed group from Chad attacked Bémal. They killed the villagers and burned houses. Four days after the attack, ex-Séléka troops occupied Bémal.[7]
On 2 January 2018, the ex-Séléka group led by General Ahmat Bahar occupied Bémal.[8] This led the residents to flee to Paoua and Chad.
