History

RJ captured Pougol from ex-Seleka in June 2014. In September 2014, Anti-balaka seized Pougol from RJ. In an act of revenge against Anti Balaka's seizure of the town, RJ torched 26 houses belonging to the relatives of ex-APRD members who refused to join RJ. This battle caused the residents to flee to the bush on 13 September 2014.[2][3]

MPC ambushed two MINUSCA patrol vehicles in Pougol on 23 August 2018.[4] 3R and former Seleka militias attacked a vehicle owned by NGO in June 2019. They robbed the passenger's belongings and stole the vehicle.[5]

On 8 June 2020, 3R attacked the FACA-MINUSCA checkpoint in Pougol.[6] As a result, residents fled to the bush, Paoua, and nearby villages.[7]

CPC rebels burned a bridge located 7 km from Pougol that provides access to the village on 10 March 2021. As a result, Pougol was isolated.[8]

MINUSCA constructed the Poungol town hall, and it was inaugurated on 4 July 2022.[9]

Economy

Agriculture is the main economic sector for the resident's livelihood.[10] A small number of people were also engaged in small-scale business enterprises.[11]

Education

There is one school in Pougol.[12]

Healthcare

Pougol has one health post in which the medical supplies were provided by MSF.[13]
