Katanga Province January 2015
Geographical location The Katanga province shares borders with Angola, Zambia, Tanzania, and with the DRC provinces of South Kivu, Kasai Occidental and Maniema.
Political situation Katanga is the home province of President Kabila and of many key government figures (notably within the security forces). However, the people of Katanga are critical of the disproportionate 5% fiscal returns allocated to the province which contributes an estimated 40% to the national fiscal revenue. Moreover, the current political dominance might be weakened at the end of President Kabila’s second term. The 2006 Constitution foresees a division of Katanga into four smaller Provinces (the current districts). As a result, secessionist drives have resurfaced. As a reminder, Katanga was declared an independent state in 1960 and reunified with the rest of the Congo by ONUC in 1963.
