Kasai-Oriental Province in Kasai region, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Kasai-Oriental is one of the 26 provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Specified under Article 2 of the country's 2006 Constitution, the new province was finally created in 2015 from Tshilenge District and the independently administered city of Mbuji-Mayi, both part of the larger, pre-2015 Kasai-Oriental province. The new province's territory corresponds to the historic Sud-Kasaï province that existed in the early period of post-colonial Democratic Republic of the Congo between 1963 and 1966.
