HautMbomou

Haut-Mbomou is one of the 20 prefectures of the Central African Republic. It is located in the southeastern part of the country, bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south and east. The prefecture's capital is Zemio.

The geography of Haut-Mbomou is characterized by savannas and dense forests. The Mbomou River, a tributary of the Ubangi River, flows through the prefecture, giving it its name. The economy is primarily based on agriculture, with subsistence farming and some cash crops like coffee and cotton. Hunting and fishing also play a role in the local economy.

The population of Haut-Mbomou is composed of various ethnic groups, including the Zande and the Banda. Like many regions in the Central African Republic, Haut-Mbomou has faced challenges related to insecurity and displacement due to armed conflict in recent years. Access to essential services such as healthcare and education can be limited in some areas.

The prefecture is known for its natural beauty and biodiversity, though challenges related to conservation and sustainable resource management exist. Efforts to improve security and provide humanitarian assistance are ongoing in the region.
