Bangassou

Bangassou is the capital of the Mbomou prefecture in the Central African Republic. Situated on the river Mbomou and at a stones-throw from the border with the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bangassou has been repeatedly tangled up in rebellion fights, including as recently as 2013.

During the French colonial occupation of Congo Free State, the French military established a base at Bangassou. In 1922 the Spiritains established a Catholic mission in the town. In 1931 the société cotonnière Comouna built a cotton processing plant in the town. In 1935 the town became the capital of the Department of Mbomou. On 11 March 2013 Seleka rebels occupied the town.
