Voici la liste des ethnies et tribus par territoires de la RDC
Le premier Premier ministre de la République démocratique du Congo, Patrice Émery Lumumba, avait prédit que « l’histoire du Congo sera écrite par les Congolais eux-mêmes ».
Bravo aux historiens et chefs coutumiers qui devraient vulgariser ce texte afin de sortir la progéniture congolaise de l’ignorance.
