History edit

In 2002, the locality becomes chief town of one of the seven sub-prefectures of Mambéré-Kadéï, resulting from a division of the sub-prefecture of Carnot.[citation needed] In April 2022 series of intercommunal clashes involving 3R rebels and pro-government faction of Anti-balaka led to dozens of deaths and displacement of more than 1,000 people in Gadzi.[3]

Administration edit

The sub-prefecture is made up of the two communes of Topia and Mbali. The town of Gadzi has 6,500 inhabitants in 2014[4] and depends on the municipality of Topia.
