Geographical Location The Orientale province is located north-east of the DRC with common Borders with the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, and with the DRC provinces of North Kivu, Maniema, Kasai Orientale and Equateur. Kisangani is the upper end point for fluvial transportation on the Congo River. Political situation On February 27, 2013, the Provincial Assembly approved the program submitted by the Governor Jean Bamanisa Saidi, elected in October 2012. In that session of the Provincial Assembly, a cabinet of 10 members including 3 women was confirmed. Most of the political spectrum of the province (majority, opposition and civil society) are represented in the government. During first year in the office, Bamanisa Saidi faced difficulties in his relations with the members of parliament. In May 2013, a no-confidence motion was tabled against his government.
