Lamy-Pont, also known as Lamy-Pong and Lamy, is a village situated in Nana-Mambéré Prefecture, Central African Republic.

History

Wagner launched airstrikes in Lamy-Pont on 31 August 2021, forcing the villagers to seek refuge in the bush. Later, they returned to the village.[2] Joint FACA-Wagner Forces conducted military operations in the village on 31 October, forcing the residents to flee to Cameroon. As the soldiers arrived, Lamy-Pont was deserted and they looted shops.[3] In January 2023, Wagner abandoned their posts in the village.[4]
