Omeonga is a town in the Sankuru province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It lies around south southeast of the nearest large town, Katako-Kombe. The Lomami river also passes nearby.
Chiefs or possessors of the name Omeonga are considered noble. It is also a name meaning "Man of Pillars" or "Noble".
The town lies near the center of a 30 km diameter depression, which is a proposed but unconfirmed ancient impact structure called the "Wembo-Nyama ring structure".[1] [2] [3] The roundness of the ring is underlined by a tributary of the Lomami river.[4] A similar visual effect can be seen with Manicouagan impact structure in central Quebec, Canada, where a ring of water surrounds the central René-Levasseur Island.
