Lomami Province
Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with the former (1962–1965) province of the same name.
Lomami is one of the 21 new provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Lomami, Kasaï-Oriental, and Sankuru provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Kasaï-Oriental province.[2] Lomami was formed from the Kabinda district and the independently administered city of Mwene-Ditu. The town of Kabinda was elevated to capital city of the new province.
