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.
