Prefecture of the Central African Republic From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ouham-Pendé is one of the 20 prefectures of the Central African Republic.[2][3] Its capital is Bozoum. The region contains several ghost towns such as Goroumo, Beogombo Deux and Paoua due to government forces ransacking them and armed bandits killing all the male inhabitants over the years from 2005 to 2008.[4][5]
