Ombella-M'Poko is one of the 20 prefectures of the Central African Republic.[1][2] Its capital is Boali since 10 December 2020, after the former capital Bimbo had to become part of Bangui Prefecture.[3] One important tourist attraction is the Falls of Boali; however, due to the Boali dam, the falls only carry water on the weekends.
