History

An armed group invaded Batobadja on 21 and 22 September 2014 and pillaged the health center’s pharmacy, causing the death of one person.[2] An armed Peuhl militia killed 21 people in Batobadja in the second week of October 2014.[3] On 18 October, ex-Séléka attacked Anti-balaka positions in Batobadja to retaliate the attack of two Muslim-owned vehicles in the village three days before, causing the villagers to seek refuge in Notre Dame des Victoires, Bambari.[4]

Anti-balaka militias stormed the Peuhl camp in Batobadja on 20 December 2014 and killed ten people, including seven ex-Séléka fighters, two civilians, and one Anti-balaka member. Fourteen houses were torched down and several injured civilians were transported to Bambari.[5]

CPC rebels attacked Batobadja on 30 December 2021, resulting in the villagers fleeing to Bambari and Matchika. As the village emptied, the rebels looted civilian properties, including goats.[6]
