Mongala is one of the 21 provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Mongala, Équateur, Nord-Ubangi, Sud-Ubangi, and Tshuapa provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Équateur province.[2] Mongala was formed from the Mongala District whose town of Lisala was elevated to capital city of the new province.[3]
