Koundjili is a village in Lim-Pendé prefecture, Central African Republic. It is one of the three villages where the 2019 Ouham Pende Massacre occurred.
In response to the killing of a Fulani trader in Koundjili, 3R rebels attacked Koundjili on 21 May 2019 for revenge. They killed 13 villagers and looted a shop.[2][3] On 27 May 2020, 3R militias returned to Koundjili and occupied it. As a result, the villagers took refuge in the bush and some went to Paoua.[4][5]
Economy
The villagers heavily rely on the agriculture sector as their main source of income.[6]
