Haut-Uélé

Haut-Uélé (French for "Upper Uélé") is one of the 21 new provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Haut-Uélé, Bas-Uélé, Ituri, and Tshopo provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Orientale province.[2] Haut-Uélé was formed from the Haut-Uélé district whose town of Isiro was elevated to capital city of the new province.
