History
During the Casamance conflict, many people living in Badème were forced to flee. Following the 2014 ceasefire, efforts were made to demine the region. However, as May 2025, some mines still remained in Badème and the neighboring village of Bougnack, and while Badème was slowly being repopulated, the population of Bougnack still had not returned.[2]
