Bas-Uele, Administrative province in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Bas-Uele province extends over 148,331 square kilometers of dense forests and rivers, with the Uele River flowing through its northern territories.
In 2015, Bas-Uele emerged as an independent province following the administrative division of the former Orientale Province, establishing Buta as its capital city.
The region maintains a rich ethnic diversity with the Azande people forming the majority, alongside the Boa, Bakere, Balele, Bakango, and Babenza communities.
Access to Bas-Uele requires careful planning due to limited transportation infrastructure, with most travel conducted through unpaved roads or small aircraft.
The provincial capital, Buta, sits at the junction of the Rubi River, where local communities engage in river commerce and traditional fishing practices.
