Uele River
The Uele, also known by the phonetically identical Uélé, Ouélé, or Welle River, is a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Uele forms at Dungu, at the confluence of the Dungu and Kibali rivers, which both originates in the mountains near Lake Albert. Combined these rivers flows west for about, until the Uele joins the Mbomou River at Yakoma.
Main tributaries to the Uele river are Bomokandi River and Uere River.
The Uele–Mbomou confluence at Yakoma marks the origin of the Ubangi River, which in turn flows into the Congo River. The Uele is the longest tributary of the Ubangi. The combined Ubangi–Uele length is about.
From satellite images, parts of the river looks red from the iron oxide in the river from pollution.
