Due to the Seleka takeover of Bangui, Lycée Barthelemy Boganda was temporarily closed. Class learning resumed on 6 May 2013, although fewer students were present.[5] Aftermath the fall of Seleka Government, an unknown group looted and vandalized the school. In response to this situation, the school principal asked Anti-balaka to guard the school, and they promised to do so.[6]
