Tshopo is one of the 21 provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. It is situated in the north central part of the country on the Tshopo River, for which it is named.
Tshopo, Bas-Uele, Haut-Uele, and Ituri provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Orientale province.[2] Tshopo was formed from the Tshopo district and the independently administered city of Kisangani which retained its status as a provincial capital. The 2020 population was estimated to be 2,829,700.[3]
Geography
Tshopo is located in the north central Democratic Republic of the Congo. It borders the provinces of Tshuapa to the west, Mongala, Bas-Uele, and Haut-Uele to the north, Ituri and North Kivu to the east, and Maniema and Sankuru to the south. Most of Tshopo has a tropical rainforest climate by the Köppen-Geiger climate classification, except for parts of the north that have a tropical monsoon climate.[4]
History
From 1963 to 1966, the area was constituted as the province of Haut-Congo (Upper Congo). It was merged into Orientale Province in 1966 as, separately, the District of Tshopo and the city of Kisangani. The Presidents (later governors) of Haut-Congo were:
- 1963 – 26 June 1963: Georges Grenfell (b. 1908)
- 26 June 1963 – 1964: Paul Isombuma
- 1964 – August 1964: François Aradjabu
- August 1964 – 5 Nov 1966: Jean Marie Alamazani
Provincial status was re-instated to Tshopo in 2015, being formed from Tshopo District and the city of Kisangani.[5]
