Orientale (French: ''Province orientale'') (also Oriental; formerly Haut-Zaïre, then Haut-Congo) is one of the ten provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The province lies in the northeast of the country. It borders Équateur to the west, Kasaï-Oriental province to the southwest, Maniema to the south, and North Kivu to the southeast. It also borders the Central African Republic and South Sudan to the north, and Uganda to the east. The provincial capital is Kisangani. The province is divided into the Bas-Uele, Haut-Uele and Tshopo districts and the Ituri Interim Administration. Under the 2006 constitution, these were supposed to become provinces in 2009. ==History== In 1998 the Orientale villages of Durba and Watsa were the center of an outbreak of Marburg virus disease among gold mine workers. The Ituri district of Orientale was the scene of the Ituri conflict. As of 2014, militia groups continue to fight in the province and have reportedly committed many atrocities against the local population, such as forcing women into sex slavery and forcing men to work in mines.〔(Sexual slavery rife in the Democratic Republic of the Congo )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orientale Province」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
